Microsoft ends support for Office 2010

Office 2010 and Office 2016 for Mac have now received their final security updates. For users,
Microsoft says it's time to move to Office 365.

ceived their final security updates, as the suites have now dropped off the company's support list.

Microsoft will no longer provide technical support, bug fixes, or security updates for these prod-
ucts, and organizations that continue to use them may face increased security risks and compliance
issues over time
