Redmond's reaper cometh: October 2026 set to bury a graveyard of Microsoft products

October 2026 will see the end of support for multiple Microsoft products, including Office LTSC 2021, Windows Server 2022, Windows 11 versions, and Microsoft Publisher 2021. Admins must migrate to newer versions or Microsoft 365 to maintain support, while Entra ID Sign-In risk policies will be retired, requiring a shift to Conditional Access.
