Hi Tom, Forgive the nit-picking, but does this not simply mean that you won't be able to ask Microsoft any support questions about it, rather than saying that it will no longer run on Windows 10?

And with a quick search I just found a statement from Microsoft that all support for 2010 will end next year. I have Office 365. I'm still running 2016 because it hasn't updated yet. The only problem I have with Window-Eyes is with the spell checker. I began scripting a fix, but it works so well with NVDA I just go that route with Office.
