Here’s a little reminder for you: Windows 10 is officially reaching the end of its lifecycle on October 14, 2025. That’s less than a year away now.
After this date, Windows 10 won’t get any more support or security updates from Microsoft. So, what does this mean for your business?
It’s time to start thinking about making the switch to Windows 11, if you haven’t already done it.
Why Upgrade to Windows 11?
Windows 11 comes with some great improvements, like faster performance, better security, and excellent multitasking features. It looks slicker, too, with a cleaner and more modern interface.
It’s completely free to upgrade to Windows 11 – but if your PCs are more than five years old, they might not be able to run it. This means you’d need to look at investing in new computers for your team.
Need Help with the Transition?
I know… you don’t always have the budget to buy brand new PCs. But you have options, and my team can help you work through them.
It’s important to start looking at this now, as while there are some workarounds to get Windows 11 running on older systems, they’re not a long-term fix.
Alternative Options
If you’re sticking with Windows 10 for a while longer, Microsoft offers an Extended Security Updates subscription program to keep you covered (though it’s a paid option and it doesn’t come cheap).
Start Planning Now
My advice? Start planning your move over to Windows 11 now. This way, you can keep your business secure and running smoothly, without any surprises come next October.
