Windows 10 End of Support – What It Means for Your Business
Microsoft will stop supporting the Windows 10 operating system effective 14th October 2025. If your business hasn't started preparing for the shift, now is the time.
#Why It Matters
After the deadline, Microsoft will no longer provide:
🔒 Security patches or critical updates
🚀 Feature enhancements
🛠️ Bug fixes or technical support
While your Windows 10 devices may still operate, they’ll be far more vulnerable to:
-
Cyber threats and data breaches
-
System slowdowns and crashes
-
Compatibility issues with various applications
#What Are the Risks?
Unsupported systems pose a serious cyber security risk.
Even a single compromised device can become a backdoor into your company’s entire IT infrastructure—through everyday tools like Microsoft Teams, Outlook, or OneDrive.
#Is Your Device Eligible for Windows 11?
Windows 11 is not just an upgrade—it’s a leap forward.
It offers:
✅ Enhanced security features
✅ Optimised performance for hybrid work
✅ AI-powered productivity tools
⚠️ Not all devices are compatible. Your experience with Windows 11 is based on:
- Processor performance
- Hard drive space
- Memory capacity
- Compatibility of existing third-party software
