Windows 10 Is Dying—What Your Business Needs To Do Now
Did you know Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10?
Key Dates
- End of Life (EOL): October 14, 2025
- After this date: No security updates, no patches, no protection.
Why It’s Happening
Microsoft is moving forward. Windows 10 is over a decade old. With evolving threats, newer systems like Windows 11 offer:
- Stronger security built-in
- Enhanced support for zero-trust networks
- Hardware-based protections like TPM 2.0
Staying on Windows 10 after EOL puts your business at major cybersecurity risk.
What’s At Risk?
If you don’t upgrade, you’ll be open to:
- Ransomware attacks
- Compliance failures (NY DFS, Gramm-Leach Bliley, HIPAAhipa, etc.)
- Legal liabilities after a breach
What Small Businesses Must Do Now
✅ Inventory All Devices
Check which computers are still running Windows 10.
✅ Check for Windows 11 Compatibility
Not all devices can upgrade. Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 and newer CPUs.
✅ Plan Your Upgrade Budget
You may need to replace older machines. Better to plan ahead than panic-buy later.
✅ Schedule Upgrades Gradually
Start with non-critical systems to test rollout. Avoid waiting until Fall 2025.
✅ Secure Before You Upgrade
Protect devices with up-to-date antivirus, encryption, and MFA while planning your transition.
✅ Don’t DIY It If You’re Not Sure
Work with a professional IT team to avoid downtime, data loss, or compliance issues.
