Free Support for Windows 10 Ends in Just Two Weeks – Here’s What Your Business Needs to Know
What would it take to bring your business to a halt?
It’s not always a major incident like a flood or a power cut. Sometimes, it’s something as simple as sticking with outdated technology.
In just over two weeks, Microsoft will officially end free support for Windows 10.
This means no more security updates, no bug fixes, and no help from Microsoft if issues arise.
If your business is still using Windows 10, this is more than just an inconvenience—it’s a real risk.
Without ongoing security updates, every Windows 10 device becomes a potential target for cyber criminals. And with cyber attacks on the rise, this is a current, urgent threat—not something to worry about later. You wouldn’t leave your office door unlocked, so don’t leave your IT systems exposed.
Some businesses are considering Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates (ESUs) as a way to buy more time. While these are available, they’re not free, and they’re only a temporary fix. The cost increases each year, and you won’t benefit from any new features or improvements—just the bare minimum in protection.
The smarter move is to upgrade to Windows 11. It’s faster, more secure, and designed for the way businesses operate today.
However, upgrading isn’t always straightforward. Some older devices may not meet the requirements for Windows 11, so you may need to consider updating your hardware as well. That’s why it’s important not to leave this until the last minute.
If you’re still running Windows 10, now is the time to act.
Start by checking which devices can be upgraded and which can’t. Then, put a clear plan in place to make the switch with minimal disruption.
That’s where we come in. My team and I can help you transition to Windows 11 smoothly and securely. Whether you need help reviewing your current setup, selecting new devices, or managing the upgrade from start to finish, we’re here to support you.
Don’t wait until time runs out. Get in touch today and let’s make sure your business stays safe and up to date.
