Here’s the problem: When Windows 10 reaches its end of support on October 14, 2025, nothing obvious will happen. Your computers won’t shut down. No flashing red lights. No warning pop-ups.

Everything will look fine—until it’s not.

No Updates = Open Season for Hackers

Once Microsoft pulls the plug, your systems will stop getting security updates. That’s when hackers move in. They specifically target businesses running out-of-date systems because:

  • No More Fixes: Any new security holes found after October 14, 2025, won’t get patched.
  • Silent Threats: Most attacks happen quietly. You won’t notice anything until sensitive data is stolen—or you’re hit with ransomware.
  • Insurance Claims Can Be Denied: Running unsupported software could void your cyber insurance coverage.

The worst part? You might not realize your systems are vulnerable until after the damage is done.

The Last-Minute Rush Will Cost You

Back when businesses upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10, everyone waited too long. The result?

  • Hardware shortages left businesses waiting months for new equipment.
  • Prices skyrocketed as demand overwhelmed supply.
  • Teams were stuck with outdated tech that made them easy targets for cybercriminals.

This time, the stakes are even higher—because cyberattacks have become more aggressive and far more expensive.

Here’s What Every CEO and CFO Needs to Do Now:

  1. Get a Security Assessment ASAP – Find out which devices are running Windows 10 (you probably have more than you think).
  2. Plan Your Upgrade Early – Avoid the last-minute scramble by starting your Windows 11 transition now.
  3. Double-Check After October 2025 – Schedule a follow-up assessment to make sure no outdated devices are left behind. One unpatched computer could leave your whole business exposed.

Your Computers Won’t Give You a Heads-Up—But We Can

If you wait until 2025, you’ll be lining up with every other business that procrastinated—and you’ll pay the price in delays, security risks, and unexpected costs.

Get ahead of the problem now. Schedule your security assessment today and make sure you’re ready before the deadline turns into a disaster.

Your computers won’t tell you when this new risk starts...
