Preparing for the End-of-Life of Windows 10
Do you still use Windows 10? You might want to start looking at an update. Microsoft has announced that support for Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025, and we’d love to help you with the move. After this date, the operating system (OS) will no longer receive software updates, technical assistance, or security fixes. Windows 10 PCs will continue to function, but it will be at greater risk for viruses and malware. So, can we help?
What Does End-of-Life Mean?
As mentioned above, the three important parts are:
- No more Software Updates: No new features or improvements will be added, potentially impacting compatibility with newer applications.
- No more Technical Assistance: Microsoft will no longer provide help or troubleshooting for Windows 10 issues.
- No more Security Updates: No more patches or fixes for vulnerabilities, leaving systems exposed to potential threats.
How Could This Impact Your Business?
Continuing to use Windows 10 systems beyond its end-of-life date can pose several risks:
- Increased Security Risks: Without updates, your systems become more susceptible to cyber-attacks and malware.
- Compliance Issues: Businesses may face regulatory challenges if they continue using unsupported software.
- Operational Inefficiencies: Lack of updates can lead to compatibility issues with new software and hardware, affecting productivity.
