Microsoft today ended support for old versions of Internet Explorer, including IE8, IE9, and IE10 […]
End of support does not mean the software stops working. When a given deadline is reached for its software, Microsoft simply stops releasing security updates and offering technical support.
At the end of 2015, the combined market share for IE8 (8.95 percent), IE9 (6.67 percent), and IE10 (4.18 percent) was 19.80 percent, according to Net Applications. IE11, by comparison, held 25.57 percent of the pie.
Today’s move means Microsoft only supports the latest version of IE for any version of Windows. In most cases, that’s IE11, which ships with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
