Windows 10 Support Has Ended – Here's What You Need to Do

Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 in October 2025. If your business is still running Windows 10, your devices are no longer receiving security updates, leaving them vulnerable to new threats.

This isn't just a minor inconvenience. It's a significant security risk. Without security patches, any new vulnerabilities discovered in Windows 10 will remain unpatched, making your systems an easy target for cybercriminals.

What Does This Mean for Your Business?

If you're still running Windows 10, you're facing several challenges right now:

• Security risks: New vulnerabilities aren't being patched, leaving your data exposed.
• Compliance issues: Many regulations require you to use supported software. Running unsupported systems could put you in breach. If you need Cyber Essentials, unsupported software is a deal-breaker.
• Software compatibility: New applications and updates may not work properly on Windows 10.

What Should You Do?

The good news is it's not too late to act. Here's what we recommend:

1. Audit your devices: Find out which machines are still running Windows 10 and whether they can be upgraded to Windows 11.
2. Check hardware requirements: Windows 11 has stricter hardware requirements. Some older machines may need replacing.
3. Plan your upgrade path: Whether you're upgrading existing devices or replacing them, create a timeline that minimises disruption.
4. Budget accordingly: Factor in the cost of new hardware, software licenses, and any migration work.
