Windows 10 is Retiring: What it Means for Your Business

Winter is here… and Windows 10 is on the way out.
On October 14, 2025, Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10 with critical security updates. If you’re still running it, your business could be exposed to increasing cybersecurity risks.

So what does this mean for you, and what should you do next?

Let’s break it down.

What’s happening?

On October 14, Microsoft is ending security support for Windows 10. That means:

• No more security patches
• No new bug fixes
• No protection from newly discovered vulnerabilities

Your computer may still run—but it will become increasingly unsafe to use, especially for business.

Why it matters

Cybercriminals are already scanning for weaknesses in outdated systems. With no more updates, Windows 10 becomes an open door.

 The risks:

• Higher chance of hacking or ransomware
• Loss of sensitive business data
• Increased downtime and frustration for your team

What are your options?

 Option 1: Upgrade to Windows 11

If your computer is relatively new, you may be able to upgrade for free.

Benefits:

• Ongoing security updates
• Faster performance
• Compatible with modern tools and apps

Not sure if you qualify? We can help you with that

 Option 2: Replace your device

If your hardware is more than 5 years old, it’s likely not compatible with Windows 11. In that case, replacement is the safest option.

We can help you:

• Choose the right devices for your business
• Transfer data safely
• Get set up quickly and easily
