It’s official: Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 will reach its End of Life on October 14, 2025. After this date, the operating system will no longer receive security updates, technical support, or any other updates. This is a significant milestone, and if your organisation is still relying on Windows 10, now is the time to prepare.
Here’s what “End of Life” really means:
No More Security Updates
Microsoft will stop patching vulnerabilities in Windows 10, leaving devices exposed to cyberattacks. Without these updates, your system will become an easy target for hackers and malware.No More Technical Support
Microsoft’s support teams will no longer assist with troubleshooting or provide fixes for Windows 10-related issues.No More Bug Fixes
Any existing or future bugs in Windows 10 will remain unresolved. This could lead to system instability or compatibility issues with newer hardware and software.No More Time Zone Updates
While this might sound minor, accurate time zones are critical for businesses operating across regions. Without updates, discrepancies can creep into scheduling systems and applications.
Why You Need to Act Now
If you continue to use Windows 10 after October 14, 2025, your organisation’s systems will become increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats. Unsupported systems are also more likely to face compliance issues with regulations such as GDPR or Cyber Essentials, which require secure and up-to-date software.
