You’ve probably heard that Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 as of October 14, 2025. This will impact the IT landscape around the world.
“Sunset” or “End of Life” – what does it mean?
This doesn’t mean your computer will become obsolete overnight. But it does mark the end of automatic bug fixes, feature updates, and security patches. Performance will degrade and compatibility issues will surface. Your organization will be at greater risk for viruses, malware and cyber threats once Microsoft ends its support for the operating system.
Fortunately, you have several months to upgrade or replace substandard hardware. However, it’s best not to wait as this affects millions of users worldwide.
Free Software Upgrade or Computer Replacement?
Depending on their chip and date of manufacture, your organization’s software may be eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 11. Older computers may not meet the system requirements for Windows 11. In those cases your organization will need to replace those computers. It is a best practice to replace computers in a professional environment every 5 years to make sure your devices stay up to date with modern day business applications and security.
