What would happen to your business if one of your key tools suddenly stopped being safe to use?
That’s the situation many businesses are facing right now — with Windows 10.
Because time is running out. Fast.
Microsoft has confirmed that free support for Windows 10 ends on 14th October 2025 when it reaches end of life.
That’s dangerously close. And with the time it takes to plan, budget and roll out a full upgrade across your business, leaving it to the last minute is not an option.
Here’s the thing: when support ends, it really ends.
-
No more security updates
-
No more bug fixes
-
No help from Microsoft if something goes wrong
Yes, you’ll still be able to use your Windows 10 devices. But you’ll be doing so in the dark — with a big target painted on your back for cyber criminals.
What’s more worrying is that many business owners haven’t realised this is coming. A recent survey found that nearly a third of businesses were either unaware or unprepared. That’s a lot of organisations at serious risk of disruption, data breaches, or worse.
Microsoft will offer Extended Security Updates (ESUs), but they’re not free. Costs rise each year and it’s only a temporary patch, not a long-term fix.
The better option? Move to Windows 11 now, while there’s still time to do it properly.
Windows 11 isn’t just the next version of Windows. It’s built to be faster, more secure, and designed for hybrid teams. With smoother performance and deeper integration with Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and Copilot, it’s made for the way modern businesses work.
But here’s the catch: not every device that runs Windows 10 can run Windows 11. That could mean you’ll need new hardware too. Which is why you should start planning today — not when the deadline hits.
At Deycom, we’re already helping businesses prepare for Windows 10 end of life. From auditing your current devices to planning upgrades and managing the move to Windows 11, we’ll make sure it’s smooth, secure, and stress-free.
