PREPARE YOUR BUSINESS!
Our webinar explores critical factors of consideration related to upgrading to Windows 11 from Windows 10 and whether replacing old computers are needed. We touch upon the chronology of Microsoft’s operating systems and explain why Microsoft is ending support, risks of continuing with Windows 10, benefits and options for users, as well as the vulnerabilities of failing to upgrade, including what industries are required to for compliance.
How
What You Need to Know
Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 will reach its end of life on October 14, 2025, meaning the operating system will no longer receive security updates, bug fixes, or technical support. After this date, devices running Windows 10 may become vulnerable to security threats, as new vulnerabilities will go unpatched. For millions of users, this marks a critical juncture to plan for the future, whether by upgrading to Windows 11, transitioning to a new device, or exploring alternative operating systems. To ensure continued security and performance, Microsoft encourages users to check if their hardware meets Windows 11’s system requirements or consider purchasing a new PC that supports the latest OS.
Preparing for the Transition
As the Windows 10 end-of-life date approaches, users should take proactive steps to stay secure and maintain compatibility with modern software. Start by backing up important files and assessing your device’s eligibility for a free Windows 11 upgrade through Microsoft’s PC Health Check tool. If your hardware isn’t compatible, explore options like purchasing a new Windows 11-ready device or investigating extended support programs for businesses that may need more time. Planning ahead will help you avoid disruptions and keep your system protected beyond October 2025.
