A Guide to Windows 10 End of Life

As Microsoft has announced, Windows 10 will reach its end of life on October 14, 2025. This means that after this date, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, bug fixes, or technical support for Windows 10.

It is crucial for businesses to understand the implications of this transition and take proactive steps to ensure their systems remain secure and up-to-date

What Does This Mean?

For businesses, the end of free Windows 10 support means that after October 2025, there will be no security updates or technical support, increasing vulnerability to cyber threats.

Businesses will need to plan for an upgrade to Windows 11 Pro to ensure they maintain a secure and compliant IT environment.

Moving to Windows 11 Pro also provides access to the latest features, improved productivity tools, and better performance on modern hardware, supporting more efficient and secure workflows.

What Are Your Options?

Remain on Windows 10

After Oct 2025, Windows 10 will no longer receive security updates or patches, leaving your business exposed to potential cyber threats. Without ongoing support, vulnerabilities will remain unpatched.

Upgrade to Windows 11 Pro

Upgrading to Windows 11 Pro is the best and future-proofed option, giving your business the latest security protections, productivity tools, and optimised performance on modern hardware and devices.

Preparing Now Is Key

October 14th 2025 may seem like a long way off. However, time moves fast and if you’re not prepared this can catch you off guard.

Preparing now will enable you to set away the necessary budget to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro, or replace your machines if required.

If you have a lot of machines on Windows 10, you have plenty of time to upgrade in phases, limiting disruption to your employees’ workflows.
