IT audit for members – what does ‘end of life’ for Windows 10 mean for your business??

Windows 10 might still feel new, but Microsoft is officially ending support on 14th October 2025. After this date, devices running Windows 10 will no longer receive security updates, bug fixes, or technical support.

Why does this matter?

Running unsupported software isn’t just a technical issue — it’s a business risk.

Increased cyber threats
Without updates, your systems become easy targets for cybercriminals. Exploits and vulnerabilities won’t be patched, leaving your business exposed to ransomware, data breaches, and downtime.

Cyber insurance may not pay out
Many cyber insurance policies now include clauses requiring businesses to maintain supported software. Running Windows 10 after the EOL date could void your policy, leaving you to cover the cost of a breach yourself.

⚠️ Compliance and legal risks
For sectors handling sensitive data—like finance, healthcare, or legal—using unsupported systems may breach data protection regulations or industry standards (e.g. GDPR, NHS Toolkit, Cyber Essentials), putting you at risk of fines or reputational damage.

Reduced software compatibility
New applications and services are increasingly built for Windows 11. Over time, you’ll find that key tools—accounting systems, CRMs, even printers—may stop working properly on older systems.
