Windows 10 reaches end of support on October 14, 2025. After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, leaving devices exposed to threats and compliance risks. This makes 2025 a critical year for Windows 11 migration planning.
Continuing to use Windows 10 after end-of-life introduces significant security vulnerabilities, increases exposure to malware and ransomware, and may put your organization at risk of compliance violations. It also means no technical support or bug fixes from Microsoft.
Yes, but with limitations. Microsoft offers Extended Security Updates (ESU) through 2028:
Enterprises must pay escalating fees: $61/device in Year 1, doubling each year.
However, this is a temporary solution—not a substitute for full migration to Windows 11.
