As of October 14, 2025, Microsoft has officially ended support for Windows 10. This means that Windows 10 devices will no longer receive security updates, bug fixes, or technical support from Microsoft.
If your business still has computers running Windows 10, here’s what you need to know moving forward.
What “End of Support” Really Means
Your Windows 10 computers will continue to work after today—but they’ll be less secure over time. Without regular updates from Microsoft, these systems become more vulnerable to new cyber threats and compatibility issues with newer software and hardware.
Think of it like driving an old car that no longer has parts made for it—it might run fine today, but when something goes wrong, there’s no official fix.
The Biggest Risk: Security
Cybercriminals know that end-of-support systems are easy targets. Without updates, Windows 10 devices are more likely to be affected by malware, ransomware, and other security vulnerabilities.
Even with strong antivirus software, outdated operating systems create a weak link in your company’s IT security chain.
What You Can Do Next
You don’t need to panic—but you do need a plan.
If you haven’t already upgraded, we recommend moving to Windows 11 or evaluating your options for new hardware that supports it. Many older PCs cannot run Windows 11 efficiently, so a replacement may be the smarter long-term choice.
With Mavidea as your IT partner, we can help you:
- Assess which devices can upgrade to Windows 11
- Replace hardware where needed
- Migrate data and settings safely
- Ensure security policies stay up to date
