Don’t let the Windows 10 end-of-support deadline catch your Ohio business off guard. Our expert IT team ensures a seamless transition to Windows 11 before October 14, 2025.
Microsoft will end all support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, leaving businesses vulnerable to security threats and operational disruptions. With Windows 10 still commanding nearly 65% of the market, Ohio businesses need to act now.
The risks of continuing to use Windows 10 after the end of support include:
When Windows 10 no longer receives security updates from Microsoft, your business becomes an easy target for cybercriminals. Hackers specifically target outdated systems, knowing they lack the latest security patches.
Currently, Microsoft’s extended security update program starts at $61 per device in year one, doubling every consecutive year, for a maximum of three years, escalating to over $200 per device by year three. Extended support is a temporary Band-Aid, not a long-term solution.
Industries like healthcare, finance, and legal require businesses to run supported versions of Windows. Running unsupported Windows 10 devices can result in regulatory fines and legal consequences.
| Current System | Recommended Action | Timeline |
|---|---|---|

| Older Windows 10 PCs | Replace with new Windows 11 systems | 6–12 months |
| Mixed environment | Phased transition plan | 6–18 months |
