It’s Time to Move On From Windows 10 – Before It’s Too Late

Windows 10 Is Coming to an End – What That Means for You

Microsoft has officially announced the End of Life (EOL) for Windows 10 on 14th October 2025. While that may seem like a distant deadline, the reality is that time is running out for businesses to plan and implement their next steps.

After this date, Microsoft will stop providing security updates, patches, bug fixes, and technical support for Windows 10. That means any device still running Windows 10 after the deadline will be left unsupported — making your business more vulnerable to cyberattacks, operational risks, and compliance failures.

For organisations that rely on smooth, secure IT to keep their teams productive and their data safe, this is a critical moment to take action.

The Hidden Risks of Sticking With Windows 10

Continuing to run an outdated operating system after its EOL date may seem harmless on the surface — but the risks go far deeper.

• Increased Cybersecurity Threats
  Unsupported systems quickly become easy targets for hackers and malware. Without regular security patches from Microsoft, vulnerabilities won’t be fixed, leaving your sensitive business data exposed.

• Compliance Failures
  Industry standards like Cyber Essentials require your systems to be supported and secure. Running Windows 10 after its EOL could mean falling out of compliance, risking fines, penalties, or loss of certification.

• Software Compatibility Issues
  As software providers move on to support Windows 11, you may find that critical applications no longer run properly on Windows 10, impacting your team’s productivity and day-to-day operations.
