Yes, it’s coming: the end of Windows 10.
And that means Microsoft will stop supporting it from October 14, 2025.
It’s been one of the best operating systems Microsoft ever released — reliable, easy to use, and it fixed a lot of the mess Windows 8 left behind. But like all good things in tech, it’s time for it to move aside.
So what does this mean for your business?
Let’s break it down.
No More Updates or Security Patches
From October 2025, Windows 10 will no longer receive:
- Security updates
- Bug fixes
- Support from Microsoft
Your PC won’t just stop working, but it will become more vulnerable to cyber attacks, glitches, and software issues. Running a business on unsupported software is like driving around without an MOT — risky, and eventually, something’s going to go wrong.
Can I Just Upgrade to Windows 11?
In some cases, yes.
Microsoft created a free tool called the PC Health Check app which tells you whether your PC can run Windows 11.
But here’s the issue: Windows 11 has much stricter requirements. It needs something called TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) – a small chip that adds hardware-based security to your machine.
If your device doesn’t have it, you won’t be able to upgrade.
There are unofficial workarounds, but no decent IT company would recommend or support them. They can cause more problems than they solve.
Do I Need a New PC?
If your current device can’t run Windows 11, then yes — you’ll need to replace it. That might feel like a pain, but it’s also an opportunity.
A new device will be:
- Faster
- More secure
- Compatible with the latest software
- Better equipped for the modern business world
Here at Jeccl, we help businesses upgrade their systems smoothly and affordably. Whether it’s one laptop or a full office refresh, we’ll make the move to Windows 11 stress-free.

Security Is Front and Center
Windows 11 has been built with security in mind. Features like secure boot, hardware-based encryption, and improved ransomware protection are all baked in.
That’s why upgrading isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s essential for keeping your business safe — especially with cyberattacks on the rise.
