Windows 10 Support Ends in Less Than a Month – What You Need to Know
The clock is ticking—Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10 in less than a month. If you’re still running Windows 10 on your work devices, this change is important to pay attention to.
Once support ends, Microsoft will no longer provide free security updates. That means your business computers will become more vulnerable to cyberattacks, software bugs, and compatibility issues. In today’s threat-filled online world, running an unsupported system is a bit like leaving your office doors unlocked at night.
So, what are your options?
Upgrade to Windows 11 – This is the best long-term solution for most businesses. Upgrading ensures you’ll continue receiving updates, new features, and strong security protections.
Extended Security Updates (ESU) – Microsoft has announced that an ESU program will be available for purchase during the first year after Windows 10 support ends. This option buys you a little more time, but it’s not a permanent fix. Eventually, you’ll still need to move forward with an upgrade.
We know upgrades can feel overwhelming, but that’s where we come in. At WildFrog Systems, we’ll help you assess which option makes the most sense for your business and guide you through every step. Whether that means planning a smooth Windows 11 transition or setting up ESU for the short term, you won’t have to figure it out alone.
The important part is not waiting until it’s too late. Cybercriminals love targeting unsupported systems, and we want to make sure your business isn’t at risk.
If you’re not sure what your next step should be, now’s the time to reach out. We’d be happy to chat about your options and create a plan that works best for you.
