Microsoft has announced that support for Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025. After this date, devices running Windows 10 will no longer receive security updates, security patches, or technical support, leaving them increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats and operational risks.
For our clients that rely on secure and stable IT environments, including healthcare providers, pharmacies, and other businesses, this change presents a critical need to plan ahead and transition to Windows 11.
What Are Your Options?
If your organization is currently using Windows 10, now is the time to evaluate your systems and plan your next steps:
- Some PCs may be eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 11.
Newer systems that meet Microsoft’s Windows 11 requirements can be upgraded at no cost. Our team can assist in determining if your devices qualify and guide you through the transition.
- Older PCs may not be compatible with Windows 11 and will require replacement.
Some systems, particularly those more than a few years old, may not support Windows 11. In these cases, replacing outdated hardware is the best option to maintain security, performance, and long-term support.
For clients needing to replace their PCs, we have secured preferential pricing with Dell to help make the transition as cost-effective as possible.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait
As the deadline approaches, demand for Windows 11 compatible hardware is expected to increase. Waiting too long could result in supply shortages, longer lead times, and increased costs for replacement devices. Additionally, running outdated operating systems without security updates poses a significant cybersecurity risk and could lead to compliance concerns, operational disruptions, and data breaches.
