On October 14, 2025, Microsoft will end support for Windows 10. After this date, your PCs and laptops will no longer receive security updates, leaving them vulnerable to cyber threats like malware and data breaches. For businesses, this is a critical moment to act.
Why It Matters
Without updates, Windows 10 systems will become easy targets for hackers. Unsupported software also risks compatibility issues with new applications, slowing down your operations. Non-compliance with industry regulations could arise if sensitive data isn’t protected.
What You Need to Do
- Assess Your Systems: Identify which devices in your business run Windows 10. Check hardware specs to see if they support Windows 11.
- Upgrade to Windows 11: If your hardware meets Microsoft’s requirements (e.g., TPM 2.0, 4GB RAM), upgrading to Windows 11 is the simplest way to stay secure and compliant.
- Replace Outdated Devices: Older PCs or laptops that can’t run Windows 11 need replacing. Invest in modern hardware to boost performance and security.
- Plan with an IT Partner: Don’t go it alone. An experienced IT provider can audit your systems, manage upgrades, and ensure a smooth transition.
