The Countdown Is On: Windows 10 Free Support Ends in Two Weeks

Free Support for Windows 10 Ends in Two Weeks: What Your Business Needs to Know

What would it take for your business to come to a standstill?

It might not be a flood, a fire, or even a power cut. It could be something as simple as sticking with an old operating system.

In just two weeks, Microsoft will officially stop providing free support for Windows 10.

What “end of life” really means

When an operating system reaches end of life, it means:

  • No more security updates

  • No bug fixes

  • No support from Microsoft if something breaks

For businesses still running Windows 10, this isn’t just inconvenient. It’s a serious risk.

The security risk

Without ongoing security updates, every Windows 10 machine becomes a potential entry point for cyber criminals.

And with cyber attacks on the rise, this isn’t a “someday” problem. It’s a right-now threat.

You wouldn’t leave your office door unlocked. So why leave your IT systems wide open?

What about Extended Security Updates?

Some businesses may consider Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates (ESUs) as a short-term fix. While these are available, they:

  • Aren’t free – costs rise every year

  • Offer no new features – just basic security patches

  • Delay the inevitable – they’re a sticking plaster, not a solution

Why Windows 11 is the better choice

Windows 11 is faster, more secure, and designed to support how businesses operate today. But upgrading isn’t always as simple as pressing a button.

Some older machines won’t meet Windows 11’s system requirements. That means you may also need to plan for hardware upgrades.

Waiting until the last minute only increases risk and disruption.

What you should do now

Time is short, but here’s the first step:

  1. Audit your devices – Identify which machines can upgrade and which cannot.

  2. Make a plan – Decide whether to upgrade or replace hardware.

  3. Act quickly – Put the plan into action before support ends.
