The end of Microsoft’s support for Windows 10 is approaching; official support will end on October 14, 2025. This means that security updates and technical assistance will stop, leaving users with a choice: upgrade or risk potential security issues.
What are the consequences?
The end of support means that Windows 10 computers will no longer receive updates, leaving them vulnerable to security flaws and cyberattacks. This poses significant risks, especially for businesses, as sensitive information becomes less protected without regular security patches.
Upgrading to Windows 11
A logical step is to switch to Windows 11. This operating system offers new features and an improved interface, but it also has stricter hardware requirements. As a result, many older systems will not be able to upgrade without hardware adjustments. Businesses and users should therefore check in advance whether their devices are compatible.
Extended Security Updates (ESU)
For companies with a large amount of hardware that doesn’t support Windows 11, Microsoft offers a paid Extended Security Updates (ESU) service. This extends support for a few more years but comes with additional costs. For some organizations, this can be a temporary solution as they gradually transition to newer systems.
Conclusion
With the end of Windows 10 in sight, it’s essential for both businesses and individual users to proactively develop a plan. The choice between Windows 11, ESU, or even an alternative operating system depends on specific needs and hardware requirements. Don’t wait until the last day; start exploring the best solution for your situation now to be well-prepared.
