If you’re selling refurbished Laptops or PCs through Amazon Renewed, check your inbox – an important update is landing now.
Starting August 29, 2025, devices running Windows 10 will no longer be accepted into the Amazon Renewed programme.
This isn’t a surprise move – it’s part of Amazon Renewed’ s transition plan in response to Microsoft ending support for Windows 10 security updates on October 14, 2025. But it does mean you need to act well before the deadline.
Key Actions for Refurbishers
Here’s what Amazon is asking sellers to do before August 29, 2025:
- Remove all Windows 10 Renewed listings
- Sell through or recall any Fulfilled by Amazon inventory
- Upgrade eligible devices to Windows 11
- Re-list under new or existing Windows 11 ASINs
This is about ensuring customer security – and keeping your listings live
