Microsoft Announces End Of Windows 8.1 Support: All Details

Key Specifications

  • Support for Windows 8.1 support to end in January 2023
  • Microsoft preparing to notify Windows 8.1 about the end-of-support date
  • Microsoft suggests moving to a new PC with Windows 11

After saying goodbye to Internet Explorer, Microsoft has now announced that it will stop providing technical support for Windows 8.1. As per the reports, the software giant will begin notifying users of existing Windows 8.1 devices next month as a first reminder before Windows 8.1 support is discontinued.

The notifications will be similar to previous notifications used by Microsoft to alert Windows 7 customers about end-of-support dates. The tech giant initially stopped supporting Windows 8 in 2016. However, support for the Windows 8.1 update will end fully in January 2023.

Also, businesses won’t be able to pay for further security fixes because Microsoft won’t be providing an ESU (Extended Security Update) program for Windows 8.1. They will have to upgrade or accept the risk of running software without security updates.

Windows 8.1 Support To End In January 2023

Microsoft will end Windows 8.1 support in about six months from now, i.e., on January 10, 2023. In addition to this, Microsoft 365 apps will no longer be supported on Windows 8.1 after the operating system reaches its end of support dates. To avoid performance and reliability users, users are recommended to move to a newer version of Windows.

To maintain the stability and reliability of Microsoft 365, the tech giant strongly recommends users to take advantage of the latest hardware capabilities by moving to a new PC with Windows 11.

Adding to it, Microsoft mentions that “Today’s computers are faster, more powerful, and sleeker – plus they come with Windows 11 already installed.” However, there must be a noteworthy number of users who just cannot upgrade to a new system at the given time.

Microsoft suggests that on Windows 8 or the 8.1 version users can upgrade to Windows 10 by purchasing and installing a full version of the software. Although, the company also confirmed that Windows 10 will reach the end of support on October 14, 2025. This means your next PC purchased should ideally have Windows 11. So, if someone’s computer does not support the hardware requirements of Windows 11, then upgrading to Windows 10 is still a feasible option.

Ather Energy is all set to up its game against the rising competition from Ola Electric by upgrading the 450X electric scooter. While the Ather 450X is one of the best electric scooters right now, its limited range is a concern for many. Citing this, the new version of the 2022 Ather 450X is getting a new updated electric motor and battery setup.

New Battery Pack

The work on this updated 2022 version of the Ather 450X was confirmed by a leaked report of ARAI. According to this report, the new Ather 450X will get a new 3.66 kWh battery pack. The leaked report also shows that the new scooter will be getting two different settings – Setting 1 and Setting 2. It indicates that the new Ather 450X will come in two versions, just like how Ola S1 is available in Standard and Pro versions.

In the Setting 1, the scooter claims a maximum riding range of 146 km, while in the Setting 2, the range has a limit at 106 km. Currently, the Ather 450X is available with a 2.9 kWh battery pack, which claims a maximum range of 116 km. The bigger battery pack with enhanced claims range should solve the concerns of many of its potential buyers.

New Electric Motor

In addition to the new battery pack, the updated 2022 Ather 450X also gets a new electric motor. In the Setting 1, the scooter gets five different riding modes – Warp (6.4 kW), Sport (5.8 kW), Ride (3.2 kW), Smart Eco (2.3 kW) and Eco (1.9 kW). It indicates that the new electric motor has a maximum power output of 6.4 kW, achievable in the Warp mode. The Setting 2 misses out on the Warp mode, but gets the other four riding modes. It means that the motor has a maximum power output of 5.8 kW in Setting 2. Currently, the scooter is available with a 6 kW electric motor as standard.

The new powertrain should help the Ather 450X up its game against the Ola S1 Pro and TVS iQube. The Ola S1 Pro is leading the sales charts with its best-in-class performance, despite all the negative events surrounding it. On the other hand, TVS also recently refreshed its iQube electric scooter. It now gets three variants, better power and better range than the previous version.
