At Mariner Business Solutions, we are committed to ensuring your business operates with the latest, most secure, and efficient technology. We want to inform you about an upcoming change that will impact all users of Windows 10.
Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 will reach its end of support on October 14, 2025. After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, non-security updates, or technical support for the operating system.
What Does this Mean for You?
If you’re still using Windows 10 after this date, your business may be impacted in several ways:
- Security Risks: Once support ends, Windows 10 will no longer receive security updates or patches. This leaves your systems vulnerable to new threats, malware, and cyber-attacks.
- Compliance Issues: Many industries require software to be fully supported for compliance with data protection regulations. An unsupported OS could put you at risk of non-compliance.
- Software Compatibility: New software applications and updates to existing ones may not be optimized or compatible with an unsupported operating system, potentially affecting your productivity.
Why Windows 11?
Windows 11 brings a host of improvements that can benefit your business:
- Enhanced Security: With new security features like Windows Hello for secure sign-ins and comprehensive protection against modern cyber threats, Windows 11 ensures your data is safer.
- Improved Performance: Windows 11 is designed to run faster and smoother on compatible hardware, providing an enhanced user experience with better multitasking capabilities and quicker boot times.
- Better User Interface: A more intuitive and productive interface with features like snap layouts, virtual desktops, and an improved Microsoft Teams integration directly from the taskbar.
- Future-Proofing: By upgrading to Windows 11, you ensure your business remains current with technology trends and software compatibility, safeguarding your investments in IT infrastructure.
