Microsoft is officially ending support for Windows 10 in October 2025. If your business is still running on Windows 10,
now is the time to plan your transition. Delaying the move to Windows 11 could lead to security vulnerabilities, compliance risks, and unexpected costs.
What’s at Risk?
- Security Threats – Without security updates, outdated systems become prime targets for cybercriminals. Businesses could face an increased risk of data breaches and ransomware attacks.
- Compliance Issues – Industries with strict security requirements, such as healthcare and finance, may struggle to meet regulatory standards with unsupported software.
- Operational Disruptions – Key applications may stop working, leading to productivity losses and unplanned downtime.
- Higher Costs – Waiting too long could mean paying for expensive extended support or rushing through a last-minute upgrade.
