We all know by now that Windows 10 is reaching end of support on October 14, 2025, but as we have reported in the past, there are other products reaching end of life (EoL) too. These include Visual Studio 2015, the IoT, Enterprise, and Education editions of Windows 11 version 22H2, and Windows 10 2015 LTSB. As such, we think it's also worthwhile highlighting a comprehensive list of all products and services reaching end of support in 2025 as well.
We will start with a list of products governed by Microsoft's Modern Lifecycle Policy, which are hitting end of servicing or retirement deadlines in 2025. For those unaware, the Modern Lifecycle Policy dictates that a product will be supported until as long as customers keep their software updated, have a valid license, and Microsoft continues offering support. With that being said, let's begin while also keeping in mind that since we are more than halfway through the year, some of the products and services mentioned below have already been retired:

Next, we have a list of Microsoft products governed by the Fixed Lifecycle Policy that are hitting end of support this year. This policy differentiates from the Modern Lifecycle Policy in several ways because it mandates the Redmond firm to announce the defined support date on the launch of the product, provide mainstream support for at least five years, and extend support if needed too. Here is the complete list of such products:
| Product | End of Support |
|---|---|
| Dynamics C5 2015 | January 14, 2025 |

There are a couple of products that have been or will be transitioned from mainstream to extended support too. SQL Server 2019 reached end of mainstream support on February 28, 2025 and will in extended support until January 8, 2030. Meanwhile, Azure DevOps Server 2020 and Microsoft Robotics will hit end of mainstream support on October 14, 2025, but will remain under extended support till October 8, 2030.
