⚠️ Don’t Ignore This – Windows 10 Support Ends Soon

 

 

If your business is still running Windows 10, it’s time to pay attention. Microsoft has announced that support for Windows 10 will officially end on 14 October 2025. After this date, your devices will no longer receive security updates, software patches, or technical support.

 

 

What does this mean for your business?

 

  • Increased security risks: Without regular security updates, your systems become a prime target for malware, ransomware, and hackers.
  • Software compatibility issues: New software and updates may not run properly on Windows 10, causing inefficiencies or downtime.
  • Potential regulatory compliance problems: Businesses handling sensitive data may face compliance risks if their systems are no longer supported.

 

 

Why upgrading to Windows 11 matters

 

Upgrading isn’t just about avoiding risk – it brings real benefits for your team and your business operations:

  1. Enhanced Security: Windows 11 uses modern hardware-based security features like TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot to protect your data.
  2. Better Performance: Optimised for modern hardware, it runs faster and more efficiently, saving time and boosting productivity.
  3. Improved Workflow: Features like a centred Start Menu, Snap Layouts, and virtual desktops make multitasking easier.
  4. App Compatibility: Run Android apps, access the latest Microsoft 365 features, and enjoy smoother integration with tools like Teams.

 

 

Action Steps for Your Business

 

  1. Audit your devices: Identify which computers are running Windows 10 and assess their hardware compatibility for Windows 11.
  2. Plan your upgrade: Schedule upgrades in phases to minimise disruption.
  3. Backup data: Ensure all important files are securely backed up before any system upgrade.
  4. Train your team: Introduce staff to new features and workflows to maintain productivity.
