Windows 10 end of support

As of October 14th, 2025, Windows 10 will no longer be supported by Microsoft. There are several effects that this may have on your organisation, Microsoft will no longer provide:

• Technical support of any issues
• Software updates
• Security updates or fixes
• Microsoft 365 apps may also face performance and reliability issues over time, making Windows 10 a much less reliable all-around software after October 14th, 2025, with increased risk of viruses and malware. 

What does this mean for you?

Any devices that meet the hardware specifications for Windows 11 can update for free, however, any that do not must explore one of a few options:

• Ignore the end-of-support deadline - This is not advised as security cannot be guaranteed, and Microsoft 365 app efficiencies may hold back your organisation.
• Buy or rent new devices - To make Windows 11 accessible, you can rent or purchase a new device that supports the software.
• Microsoft's Extended Security Updates (ESU) program - Microsoft offer a one-year paid subscription for extended security support.
