Windows 10 End of Life Is Coming in October — Here’s How to Prepare
Microsoft has officially announced that Windows 10 will reach End of Life (EOL) in October 2025. That means no more security updates, bug fixes, or technical support. For professional service firms in the Capital Region — law offices, accountants, medical practices, and insurance agencies — this isn’t just an inconvenience. It’s a business risk.
Without regular updates, Windows 10 devices will become vulnerable to cyber threats. Hackers actively target outdated systems because they know security patches will no longer be released. For industries handling sensitive client information, this can quickly lead to compliance violations, data breaches, and reputational damage.
Why act now?
Hardware readiness: Many older PCs running Windows 10 won’t meet the system requirements for Windows 11. Replacement hardware will be needed — and global supply chain delays mean waiting until 2025 could leave your team stranded.
Compliance concerns: Law firms, healthcare practices, and financial services can’t risk operating on unsupported systems without jeopardizing data security.
Budget planning: Replacing or upgrading multiple systems at once is a significant expense. Planning ahead lets you spread costs out over time.
At Total Tech Solutions, we’re already helping Capital Region businesses audit their existing devices, identify upgrade paths, and schedule replacements well before the October 2025 deadline.
Don’t wait until it’s too late. Reach out today for a Windows 10 EOL readiness assessment and stay ahead of the curve.
