Window 10 End of Life
Microsoft has officially announced the end of support for Windows 10, which means your system will no longer receive security updates, bug fixes, or technical support. Running an unsupported operating system exposes your business to cybersecurity risks, compliance issues, and software incompatibility.
Upgrading to Windows 11 or implementing a managed IT migration plan ensures your devices remain secure, efficient, and compatible with modern software. Don’t wait until it’s too late take proactive steps today to protect your business operations and data.
Security Risks
After Windows 10 reaches end of life, your system will no longer receive security updates, leaving it vulnerable to cyber attacks and malware.

Compliance Issues
Using an unsupported OS can result in non-compliance with industry regulations, especially for businesses handling sensitive data.

1. Increased Security Risks
Without regular security updates, Windows 10 devices become more vulnerable to malware, ransomware, and hacking attempts. Cybercriminals target outdated systems because they know the security gaps aren’t patched.
2. Software & Hardware Compatibility
New applications and hardware drivers are designed for supported operating systems. After EOL, many apps may not work correctly, and devices may not receive driver updates, leading to performance issues.
3. Compliance & Legal Concerns
Businesses in regulated industries, such as finance or healthcare, must adhere to strict compliance rules. Running an unsupported OS can result in violations, fines, or insurance issues.
4. Productivity Disruptions
System crashes, application failures, and security breaches can cause downtime. Without a proper upgrade plan, your employees may face repeated disruptions that affect business operations.
Assess Your Devices
Identify which devices are running Windows 10 and check their hardware compatibility for Windows 11 or alternative solutions.
Plan Your Upgrade Path
Decide whether to upgrade to Windows 11, switch to a cloud-based solution, or replace older machines entirely.
Backup Critical Data
Ensure all important business data is backed up before starting upgrades or migrations.
Schedule Updates & Migrations
Avoid last-minute disruptions. Plan device upgrades in phases to minimise downtime.
Train Your Team
Make sure employees understand the new OS interface and any new security procedures.
Verify Security Settings
Check firewall, antivirus, and other critical security settings to ensure protection before migration.
