The clock is ticking for Windows 10 users.
On 14 October 2025, Microsoft will officially end support for the Windows 10 operating system. No more security updates, no bug fixes, and no technical support.
Businesses running Windows 10 after support ends on 14 October 2025 will be using systems that no longer receive patches or protection from Microsoft. This brings serious risks, not just around cybersecurity, but also compliance, reliability, and software compatibility.
Without regular updates, these machines become prime targets for known exploits. That increases the likelihood of data breaches, malware infections, and regulatory issues, especially for organisations handling sensitive information such as in finance, healthcare, or education.
You may also begin to notice compatibility problems with newer applications and devices. As software vendors continue to optimise for Windows 11, older systems will be left behind, causing sluggish performance, limited functionality, and more time spent troubleshooting.
Bondgate IT is already helping businesses across Tees Valley and Northeast England prepare for this transition with clear, manageable upgrade strategies. Whether you’re running ten devices or hundreds, we’ll guide you through every stage to ensure your systems remain secure, efficient, and fit for the future.
To help offset the cost, we’ve partnered with HP to offer a limited-time cashback opportunity. You could claim up to £400 per device when upgrading to eligible Windows 11 hardware. This offer is available until 30 June 2025, and we’ll help you make the most of it.
🎯 What Windows 10 End-of-Life Means for Your Business
- Devices will no longer receive critical security patches.
- Compliance risks will increase, especially in sectors like finance, healthcare, and education.
- Software vendors will gradually stop supporting Windows 10, causing growing disruptions.
- Older hardware may not meet the technical requirements for Windows 11.
Waiting could mean unexpected costs and avoidable downtime.
