Windows 10 End of Support — Act Now

Windows 10 Ends October 14, 2025. Are Your PCs Ready?

After this date, Windows 10 stops getting security and feature updates—leaving your business exposed and out of compliance. We’ll audit your devices, plan upgrades, and migrate data with near-zero downtime.

Quick facts
  • No more security updates or bug fixes after Oct 14, 2025.
  • Microsoft 365 on Windows 10: support ends the same day (security updates for M365 on Win10 continue to Oct 10, 2028).
  • Bridge option: Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) can buy limited time.

What changes after October 14, 2025?

Understand the impact so you can plan the right path.

Security & Patches End

No more monthly security updates or hotfixes. Risk rises as new threats target unpatched systems.

No Microsoft Support

When issues hit, there’s no vendor support—leading to longer outages and higher incident costs.

Compatibility Drifts

New hardware, drivers, and apps increasingly target Windows 11—leaving Windows 10 behind.

Why this matters for your business

Security & Compliance

Unsupported OS = Audit Findings

HIPAA / PCI / CMMC auditors flag out-of-support systems. Cyber insurers may limit coverage after a breach.

Productivity

Downtime Gets Expensive

Peripheral and app issues increase over time on old OS builds—costing staff hours and morale.

Modern Work

AI & Security in Windows 11

Access Copilot, enhanced phishing protection, hardware-based security defaults, and better patching controls.

Your options (and our recommendation)

Upgrade In-Place

For devices that meet Windows 11 requirements. Keep profiles and apps; validate drivers first.

Replace Devices

For unsupported hardware. We migrate data, profiles, printers, and map shares—zero guesswork.

ESU Bridge

Purchase Extended Security Updates to buy limited time while you phase upgrades responsibly.

Virtual Desktops

Azure Virtual Desktop or Windows 365 for specialty apps and remote teams.

Recommendation: Start with an environment assessment → segment devices (upgrade / replace / ESU), then roll out in waves to avoid disruption.
