In the coming days, Windows 10 Mobile will receive its final updates, and Microsoft is preparing to completely discontinue support for the mobile OS. This is partly reflected in the discontinuation of support for other applications.
How , Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote for the mobile system will no longer receive security updates, non-security fixes, free supplemental support, and new features. The deadline will be January 21, 2020.
Office applications will continue to work after Windows 10 Mobile loses support next week, but Microsoft emphasizes that no new patches should be expected. After January 21, the company will also remove the applications themselves, as well as links to them. This means that the 'Office' package can only be used on those smartphones with Windows 10 Mobile where the applications are installed before this date.
The Redmond company recommends all users transition to Android and iOS, where Office applications continue to receive regular updates. Thus, smartphones running Windows 10 Mobile will soon be relegated to the past. There is only hope for enthusiasts who may be able to run a full desktop version of Windows 10 with all necessary applications on them. The company might also attempt to replace the mobile system with Windows 10X. After all, it promises support for Win32 applications.
