Microsoft is reportedly prepping a campaign to inform Windows 8.1 users about the operating system’s pending end-of-life status.
Redmond started winding down support for Windows 8.1 on January 9, 2018, when the OS saw mainstream support come to an end. On January 10, 2023, the extended support period will conclude, at which time technical assistance, updates and security patches will no longer be supplied.
According to StatCounter, Windows 8.1 is installed on just 3.06 percent of computers worldwide.
