Microsoft has announced that support for Windows 10 will end in October 2025. After this, the operating system developer Microsoft will no longer provide new security and feature updates or technical support for devices running Windows 10.
Microsoft has also announced that Windows 10 users will have the option to purchase a three-year extension of Windows 10 security updates by purchasing the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates program from Microsoft, which extends security update support for up to three years. However, ESU does not bring new features or functionality to your device, but only applies to security updates. Microsoft emphasizes that ESU is not intended as a long-term solution, but rather as an interim step in the Windows 11 transition. If you have a device that does not allow you to upgrade from Windows 11 due to hardware requirements, it is very important to update your device in the near future.
From a Windows 10 user's perspective, after the support period, Windows 10 will not suddenly stop working on your computer and you may not notice it immediately and you can continue using your device. The important thing is that without new security updates or technical support from Microsoft for your Windows 10 device, there will be several security risks when using the device, such as:
Without security updates, the device is an easier target for data breaches and cyber attacks because potential vulnerabilities are no longer fixed.
Microsoft does not provide troubleshooting assistance
new features and improvements are not available to you
In many industries, information security standards such as ISO 27001 or GDPR require that the company's systems are up to date. Using an old system may result in violations and expose you to significant fines.
Upgrade your device's operating system to Windows 11 if your computer meets the hardware requirements
Device renewal is coming if current devices do not meet Windows 11 requirements
If your company's devices are running Windows 10, it's worth exploring your options now. If the operating system cannot be updated due to device requirements, you will inevitably have to purchase a new device. When it comes to IT devices, leasing is often a sensible option, as purchasing multiple devices at the same time is expensive and ties up the company's capital unnecessarily. As a leasing customer, you pay for the use of the products, meaning the financing company owns the devices for the duration of the contract. When the contract ends, you can choose whether to return the devices or redeem them for your own at market price.
