Windows 10 End Of Support
Fast track your Windows 11 transition to keep your workforce secure, compliant, and digitally enabled
Windows 10 has reached end of life and support on 14 October 2025.
There will be no new security, bug-fix updates, or assisted support.
What does this mean for business users?
Windows 10 end of support will have a significant impact. It’s estimated that 30-40% of desktop devices in use today do not meet the technical requirements for Windows 11 BIOS requirements.
240 million devices that run Windows 10 can’t be upgraded to Windows 11, potentially creating 480m kg of e-waste.

The impact of doing nothing
- Increased Cyber Risk – Running an unpatched environment increases the risk of cyber threats.
- Higher Costs – Short term fixes can lead to unnecessary expenses.
- Reduced Efficiency – Old/legacy devices can cause latency, slow response times, and poor application performance. Unsupported operating systems become sluggish and inefficient.
- Lack of Visibility – In a poorly managed environment, it is difficult to know how bad things are, the only indicator is support call volumes.
- Operational Complexity – Unmanaged (organically grown) environments tend to be difficult to manage due to their complexity and lack of standardisation.
- Compliance Risks – and general non-conformance. Many industries and government departments have strict regulations that require up-to-date software.
