Does End of Support for Windows 10 Impact my Lucullus Installation?

Why is Windows 10 support ending?

Microsoft has announced that support for Windows 10 will officially end on October 14, 2025. After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide:

• Free software updates through Windows Update
• Technical assistance
• Security patches or fixes

Although PCs running Windows 10 will continue to function, they will become increasingly vulnerable to zero-day attacks, malicious software, ransomware, and phishing threats.

More information is available on Microsoft’s official End of Support page.

 

What does this mean for Lucullus users?

Many Lucullus installations worldwide currently run on computers with a Windows 10 operating system. If you upgrade these systems to Windows 11, it’s important to know that:

• Only Lucullus version 24.1.2 has been validated for use with Windows 11.
• Older Lucullus versions have not been tested for compatibility with Windows 11 and may not function as expected.
  

 

Do I need to upgrade to Windows 11?

Yes! Microsoft strongly recommends upgrading before October 14, 2025 to maintain a secure operating environment.

• If your PC meets the minimum requirements, you should see a free upgrade option in Windows Update.

• If your PC cannot be upgraded, you may need to replace it with a Windows 11–ready device.

 

What should I do to keep Lucullus running smoothly?

To avoid interruptions and security risks:

1. Upgrade your Lucullus installation to version 24.1.2 before moving to Windows 11.
2. If you are still running Windows 10, plan your transition to Windows 11 well before Microsoft’s support ends.
