What You Need to Know About Windows 10 End of Life

What You Need to Know About Windows 10 End of Life

The Windows 10 operating system was a major achievement for personal and business computing after the debacle that was Windows 8 (and the 8.1 update). Now that Windows 11 has taken the computing world by storm, Microsoft is getting ready to retire Windows 10. Today, let’s go through everything you need to know about Windows 10’s end of support.

Windows 10 End of Life

Without much fanfare, Windows 10’s initial end of life date has come and gone. The initial date of WIndows 10 end of life was June 13, 2023. If you missed the memo, you don’t have to worry, Microsoft will be supporting the operating system with crucial security updates and patches until October 14, 2025. 

What Happens Then?

After the deadline, the software won’t stop working or disappear from your computer. Microsoft will no longer support the operating system. This means that they will no longer provide security patches, support for potential vulnerabilities, or offer new features. This opens users that fail to upgrade before that date to a great deal of risk. For businesses, it is a more problematic issue, since their employees, vendors, and customers depend on the security of their IT and if they are using unsupported software, that can get pretty dicey quickly. 

We Can Help!

While most times, Microsoft will offer extended support for a premium cost, the only way to avoid dealing with this is to upgrade to a newer OS. If you would like to learn more about getting your business upgraded before the end of support date, give the IT experts at BSGtech a call today at (866) 546-1004.
