Microsoft will begin Windows 8 and 8.1’s end of life and support in January 2023. This means it will stop all support and updates to the operating system. Windows 8 and 8.1 already reached the end of Mainstream Support on January 9, 2018.

Right now the operating system is in what is known as extended support. Extended support offers security updates and bug fixes, as well as paid support, but you won’t get any design or feature updates.
