Microsoft Announces New End of Support for Surface Hub Windows 10 Team Edition and Other Products in 2025

Microsoft has officially announced that support for Surface Hub Windows 10 Team Edition devices will end on October 14, 2025. As reported in a Surface IT Pro blog post, this decision impacts both Surface Hub v1 and 2S, marking a significant transition for organizations relying on these devices for collaboration and productivity. The announcement comes as part of a broader wave of Microsoft products reaching end-of-support or retirement in 2025.

Surface Hub Transition Details

Surface Hub v1 and 2S users must act promptly to ensure their devices remain secure and functional. After October 14, these devices will no longer receive security updates, patches, or technical support, and the Microsoft Teams app will cease functioning. Microsoft has provided three key recommendations for organizations to navigate this transition:

1. Check Device OS and Model

Confirm whether your device runs Windows 10 Team edition. Surface Hub v1 is only compatible with this OS, while 2S is eligible for upgrades.

2. Choose a Transition Path

• Surface Hub v1: Microsoft recommends upgrading to the Surface Hub 3 for continued support.
• Surface Hub 2S: Options include upgrading to Surface Hub 3 via the Compute Cartridge (preloaded with Windows 11-based Teams Rooms), migrating to Teams Rooms on Windows (available as a free offering until October 14, 2025), or switching to Windows 11 Pro/Enterprise for personal office scenarios.

3. Stay Updated

Organizations are encouraged to start migration early to avoid disruptions and leverage new features such as Microsoft Edge integration and Miracast wireless projection on Surface Hub 3.

Other Microsoft Products Reaching End of Support

The end-of-support announcement for Surface Hub Windows 10 Team edition is part of a larger wave of retirements affecting approximately 120 Microsoft offerings in 2025. Key products scheduled for end-of-support include:

• Windows 10 (Enterprise, Education, Home, Pro, IoT Enterprise): October 14, 2025.
• Microsoft Office Apps (2016 and 2019): October 14, 2025.
• Exchange Server (2016 and 2019): October 14, 2025.
• Skype for Business Server (2015 and 2019): October 14, 2025.
• Visual Studio App Center: March 31, 2025.
• Azure Database for MariaDB: September 19, 2025.
• Dynamics GP (2015 and R2): April 8, 2025.
• SQL Server (2012 Extended Security Update Year 3): July 8, 2025.

These retirements mean affected products will no longer receive security updates or technical support after their respective dates. For some offerings like Windows 10, Microsoft provides an Extended Security Update (ESU) program as a paid option to extend their use securely beyond the end-of-support date.

Why This Matters

Remaining on unsupported platforms poses significant risks to security, compliance, and productivity. Organizations are urged to plan upgrades early to ensure seamless transitions to supported solutions. For Surface Hub users specifically, migrating to Teams Rooms on Windows or upgrading to Surface Hub 3 ensures access to advanced collaboration features such as real-time content sharing via Miracast and secure browsing through Edge integration.

Next Steps

Microsoft advises customers using any products nearing end-of-support in 2025 to begin planning upgrades or replacements now. For detailed migration guidance tailored to specific products, organizations can consult their Microsoft account team or reseller partners.

This latest wave of retirements shows Microsoft’s focus to switching its ecosystem toward modern platforms like Windows 11 and Teams Rooms on Windows while phasing out legacy systems.
