As of October 14, 2025, devices running Windows 10 no longer receive any updates, including security updates. This means your business or others using this operating system could experience major cybersecurity issues.
Vulnerabilities in the operating system will likely still exist and won’t be fixed. This gives cybercriminals time to find and exploit them and gain access to your company’s sensitive data.
As Windows 10 phases out, we expect an increase in cyber threats like ransomware, data breaches, malware and more. If you don’t make the switch to Windows 11 or pay for protection, you could even face losing your compliance status.
