Windows 10 End of Life

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. 

If you have any questions on your upgrade, or would like to talk to someone about equipment options, please contact us.

The deadline to replace or upgrade your current Windows 10 computers is October 14, 2025.

Protect Your Business from Cyber Threats: Upgrade to Windows 11 Now

Urgent Security Alert: The deadline to replace or upgrade your Windows 10 computers is October 14, 2025. After this date, Microsoft will cease providing free software updates, technical assistance, and crucial security fixes for Windows 10. This means your business IT network has a great risk of a Cyber Attack after that date. While your computer will still function, the absence of security updates significantly increases the risk of a cyber breach.

Why Upgrade Now? STI strongly recommends replacing your outdated Windows 10 computers with new Windows 11 workstations and laptops. The Windows 10 Microsoft operating system was released in July of 2015 and advances in computer technology over the past decade are substantial, so older computers are reaching their end of life. Upgrading now ensures you won’t pay twice for Windows 11 installation, as new computers come with it pre-installed.

Join Our Free Webinar: STI invites you to a 30-minute webinar at 12:30 EDT on June 18th to explore options for upgrading to Windows 11 and replacing old computers.

Don’t Delay: Waiting until October 2025 to upgrade your Windows 10 systems increases your vulnerability to cyber-attacks. As the deadline approaches, new Windows 11 computers will become harder to procure due to high demand and potential trade tariffs. Additionally, last-minute technician availability may be limited, putting your business at further risk. Without Windows 10 updates, your business is susceptible to ransomware attacks and the exposure of client data on the dark web. Hackers are poised to exploit security breaches after October 14, 2025. Don’t let your business be an easy target.
