Data Center and IT SupportWindows 10 End of Life is Coming: Let’s Get Ahead of It

Introduction

Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 will reach End of Life (EOL) on October 14, 2025. For IT leaders managing complex environments, that date is closer than it appears. Organizations still relying on Windows 10 need a clear plan to transition—without disrupting operations or compromising security.

Problem

When Windows 10 reaches EOL, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, bug fixes, or technical support. That means every device still running Windows 10 will become an increasing liability—more vulnerable to ransomware, data breaches, and compliance violations. For businesses with hundreds or thousands of endpoints, the cost and complexity of a last-minute migration can be overwhelming.

Here’s an issue that is often overlooked: if you’re planning to upgrade to Windows 11, not every machine is eligible. Windows 11 has stricter hardware requirements—meaning many devices currently running Windows 10 won’t make the cut.
