The Countdown Is On

Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10. That means no more security patches, bug fixes, or compliance updates. Businesses that continue to use Windows 10 after the end-of-life (EoL) deadline are exposed to higher risks of ransomware, phishing, and regulatory violations.

If your systems are still running Windows 10, now is the time to plan your transition.

Why You Should Act Now

• Windows 7 EoL saw a 200% increase in ransomware targeting outdated devices

• 60% of SMBs hit by a major breach close within 6 months

• Early upgrades reduce costs and prevent rushed, unplanned migrations

Why Windows 10 End of Support Matters

• No More Security Updates – Vulnerabilities discovered after EoL won’t be patched.

• Compliance Risks – HIPAA, CCPA, and other frameworks require supported systems.

• Cyber Insurance Coverage – Many insurers deny claims if outdated OSs are in use.

• Increased Attack Surface – Hackers target unsupported platforms aggressively.

• Downtime Costs – Unsupported devices are more likely to fail and disrupt business.
