🖥️ Windows 10 Is Reaching End of Life — Here’s What Your Business Needs to Know
Windows 10 has been a workhorse for years, but its time is almost up. Microsoft will officially stop supporting it on October 14, 2025. If your business is still relying on Windows 10, now’s the time to start thinking about your next move.
At ScaleUp Devs, we’re here to help you understand what this means and what steps to take—without the jargon or scare tactics.
What Does “End of Life” Actually Mean?
When Windows 10 reaches end of life, Microsoft will stop releasing:
🔒 Security updates
🧰 Bug fixes and patches
🧑💻 Official support
That means your systems could be left vulnerable to new threats, and certain apps or tools might eventually stop working properly.
Your Options Going Forward
✅ Upgrade to Windows 11
Windows 11 is the long-term replacement for Windows 10. It comes with stronger security, a modern interface, and better performance—especially on newer hardware.
If your current devices are compatible, moving to Windows 11 is the best option.
💸 Stick with Windows 10 (with Paid Support)
Microsoft will offer Extended Security Updates (ESUs) until 2028, but these come at a cost. This might be a short-term solution for businesses that can’t upgrade just yet due to software or hardware limitations, but it's not ideal long-term.
🔍 Review Your Setup
This is also a great time to take stock of your hardware and systems. If some of your machines are getting old, this could be the push you need to plan ahead.
