Nvidia Extends Windows 10 GeForce Driver Support Through 2026

Nvidia said it will continue releasing Game Ready drivers for all GeForce RTX graphics cards running Windows 10 until October 2026, giving users a full year of support beyond Microsoft’s scheduled retirement of the operating system on 14 October 2025. The move means owners of newer Nvidia hardware will keep receiving day-zero optimisations for new games and applications even after the OS officially reaches end-of-life. For older hardware, the company will issue its final full-feature Game Ready Driver in October 2025 for GPUs based on the Maxwell, Pascal and Volta architectures, which include the GeForce GTX 10-, 9- and 7-series cards. After that point those products will transition to quarterly security-only updates that will run through October 2028, extending total support for some models to roughly 11 years. The staggered schedule underscores Nvidia’s attempt to balance resources between legacy and current products while Microsoft presses users to migrate to Windows 11. Windows 10 still powers a sizable share of PCs, and the extra driver coverage is intended to smooth the eventual transition for gamers and other performance-sensitive users.
