Will Adobe Premiere Pro stop supporting Windows 10 after October 2025?

The deal with Windows 10 is that M$ is ending support sometime in November, meaning no more security patches (auto updates).  Windows 10 machines will still function but if a hacker decides to attack a newly found vulnerability, the machine can be compromised. To use W10 safely after November, either use it airgapped with no internet, or if you need to be on a network, make sure you have solid firewalls (external and internal) in place. If you need the web, use a browser that blocks all ads (e.g. Brave), only visit sites you trust avoiding social media, and disconnect email. Consider these single-purpose machines and Premier can certainly continue to work - but you may be stuck with an older version if Adobe decides not to support Windows 10 for future releases.

Thanks for the advice. It would really suck if Adobe stops supporting Windows 10 since I don't update to Windows 11 because the update function says my computer does not meet the minimum system requirements to run it and I'm not planning on builind a new machine any time soon. My computer works fine with everything so it's not a simple slow machine. I have an Intel i7 9700 with 64GB of ram and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 with 6GB. It's not new but should run Windows 11 just fine, specs wise, except that it says the standard hardware security is not supported. I'm not sure if it's the mainboard that has that limitation.

Was there some announcement? Premiere Pro Beta won't open since some versions ago (today i tried with the latest one and it crashes as soon as it starts opening), is that the reasson?

Curious also, as I've a couple computers with older project versions I do need to use on occasion (SpeedGrade!) ... and a couple laptops still in heavy use in our shop that aren't upgradeable to Win11.

 

And I do not want to have to replace them.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
