In October 2025, Windows 10 will be end of life (EOL), which means Microsoft will no longer provide:
Security updates: Leaving systems vulnerable to emerging cyber threats
Technical support: No official assistance for troubleshooting or issues
Feature updates: No new functionalities or improvements
If plans aren’t put in place, this milestone could have significant implications for organisations still running devices on Windows 10. Running EOL operating systems can lead to compliance risks, degraded performance, and increased exposure to security vulnerabilities.
As the successor to Windows 10, Windows 11, is the focus of Microsoft’s development efforts going forward. This means that to keep your endpoint estate secure and benefit from the latest features, you need to consider your endpoint estate upgrade plan.
