Windows 10 End of Life: Why Your Business Must Upgrade Before 14 October 2025
Windows 10 support ends on 14 October 2025. Find out what risks your business faces, why upgrading is essential, and how Munio can deliver a seamless upgrade plan before it’s too late.
Windows 10 reaches official End of Life on 14 October 2025. From that date, Microsoft will stop providing security updates, bug fixes, and technical support. Any business still using Windows 10 after this deadline will be left wide open to cyber threats, regulatory issues, and serious compatibility problems. Unsupported software is one of the leading causes of ransomware attacks and data breaches. Without regular security patches, your devices become an easy target for cybercriminals. If your business operates under Cyber Essentials, GDPR or other compliance frameworks, using an out-of-date operating system could also mean falling foul of legal obligations. Auditors, clients, and insurers won’t accept “we didn’t get round to it” as an excuse.
Protect Your Business: Windows 10 End of Life Approaching
Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 10 will reach its End of Life (EOL) on 14 October 2025. After this date, Windows 10 will no longer receive security updates, bug fixes, or technical support, exposing your systems to significant risks.
Why This Matters for Your Business:
Security vulnerabilities – unpatched systems are prime targets for cyberattacks and malware. Compliance risks – using unsupported software may violate Cyber Essentials or GDPR requirements. Compatibility issues – new applications and tools may not function on Windows 10, impacting productivity.
Your Next Steps:
Assess compatibility – use Microsoft’s PC Health Check tool to determine if your devices can upgrade to Windows 11. Plan your upgrade – transition to Windows 11 for enhanced security, modern features like Snap Layouts, and ongoing support. Replace hardware – for devices incompatible with Windows 11, consider new or refurbished hardware options. Explore extended support – Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates (ESU) programme offers temporary paid updates, but upgrading to Windows 11 is the most cost-effective long-term solution.
