As of October 14, 2025, Microsoft has officially ended support for Windows 10. For many small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), this marks a critical turning point. If your organization is still running Windows 10, it’s time to take action—and fast.
What Does End of Support Mean?
When Microsoft ends support for an operating system, it stops providing:
- Security updates
- Bug fixes
- Technical support
This leaves systems vulnerable to cyber threats, compliance risks, and software incompatibilities. In short, continuing to use Windows 10 is like leaving the front door of your business wide open to attackers.
Why SMBs Shouldn’t Delay the Upgrade
Many SMBs delay upgrades due to cost concerns, disruption fears, or simply lack of time. But the risks of staying on Windows 10 far outweigh the inconvenience of upgrading:
- Security Risks: Without updates, your systems are exposed to malware, ransomware, and data breaches.
- Compliance Issues: Industries with strict data regulations (like healthcare, finance, or legal) may face penalties for using unsupported software.
- Software Compatibility: New applications and updates are increasingly optimized for Windows 11, leaving Windows 10 users behind.
- Employee Productivity: Windows 11 offers performance improvements, better multitasking, and enhanced collaboration tools.
