Windows 10 End of Life Resources
Days Left To Upgrade
It’s not long until support and updates for Windows 10 will end.
Why Is Microsoft Ending Support & Updates For Windows 10?
Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 in October 2025 to focus on Windows 11, which offers enhanced security, modern features, and better performance on newer hardware.
This shift reduces fragmentation, allowing Microsoft to streamline updates and support for a single, unified OS.
Upgrading ensures users continue receiving security updates and technical support while benefiting from Windows 11’s advancements.
What Does This Mean For SMEs?
For businesses, the end of free Windows 10 support means that after October 2025, there will be no security updates or technical support, increasing vulnerability to cyber threats.
Businesses will need to plan for an upgrade to Windows 11 to ensure they maintain a secure and compliant IT environment.
Moving to Windows 11 also provides access to the latest features, improved productivity tools, and better performance on modern hardware, supporting more efficient and secure workflows.
