Get Ready: Windows 10 Support is Ending – What You Need to Know

At BOSS, we’re all about making your workday easier and stress-free. That’s why we want to keep you updated on Microsoft’s important changes. Support for Windows 10 will officially end on 14th October 2025.

If you’re still using Windows 7 or 8.1, their support ended some time ago, meaning they’re no longer secure. Now is the perfect time to plan ahead and ensure your systems are ready for the future. Don’t worry – we’re here to help.

Why Does “End of Support” Matter?

When Microsoft ends support for an operating system, it stops releasing important updates. This means:

  • No more security patches to protect your devices from new threats.
  • No technical support if something goes wrong.
  • Compatibility issues with newer software and devices.

In short, staying on unsupported systems like Windows 7, 8.1, or 10 could leave your business exposed and out of step with current technology.

Why Upgrade to Windows 11?

Windows 11 has been designed to help you work smarter and more securely. Here’s why upgrading is a good idea:

  • Enhanced Security: Features like built-in encryption and advanced threat protection keep your data safe.
  • Boosted Productivity: Handy tools like Snap Layouts and multiple desktops help you get more done.
  • Fresh New Look: An intuitive, modern design that’s quick to navigate and easy to use.

Whether you’re working from home or managing an office, Windows 11 ensures you’re ahead of the curve.

What’s Next?

If you’re wondering what to do next, here are your main options:

  1. Upgrade to Windows 11

If your PC meets the hardware requirements, upgrading to Windows 11 is a straightforward option. Windows 11 offers enhanced security features, a modern interface, and support for the latest software.

  1. Replace Your PC

If your current device doesn’t meet Windows 11 requirements or is outdated, investing in a new PC is worth considering. New computers come with Windows 11 pre-installed, offering improved performance, battery life (for laptops), and compatibility with modern software.

How to Decide?

  • Budget-Friendly: Upgrading to Windows 11 is cost-effective if your PC supports it.
  • Future-Proofing: A new PC with Windows 11 ensures you’re ready for years to come.
