Windows 10 Support Ending

Windows 10 Support Ending

With Windows 10 support coming to an end next month, now is the time to make the upgrade to Windows 11 if you haven’t already done so. 

From October, Microsoft will stop releasing updates and security patches, meaning any devices still running Windows 10 could quickly become vulnerable. 

Cybersecurity is a primary reason for switching.  Once support ends, Windows 10 will no longer get critical security updates, leaving your systems vulnerable to attacks.  Windows 11 includes features such as hardware-based isolation, built-in encryption, and advanced malware protection, which are enabled by default, providing stronger security without complex setup.  This greatly reduces the risk of costly downtime or data breaches.

Windows 11 isn’t just safer—it’s faster too.  The operating system is optimised to take full advantage of modern hardware, so you’ll see improvements in boot times, multitasking, and overall responsiveness.  If your team uses resource-heavy apps for video calls, design, or data analysis, the performance gains will make day-to-day tasks easier and less frustrating.

The design of Windows 11 has been refreshed, making it cleaner and easier to navigate.  The new Snap Layouts feature allows you to arrange multiple apps on your screen with just one click, while improved virtual desktops make it easy to separate workspaces for different projects.  Microsoft Teams is also built into Windows 11, so starting a video call or chat with colleagues is just a tap away.

Windows 11 is also built for the hybrid and remote working environment we now operate in.  It integrates smoothly with cloud tools and supports the latest technology, ensuring your systems are prepared for the future.  Upgrading now means you’ll be better equipped for the new innovations that will be introduced in the years to come.

We’ve been busy over the past few months helping our clients make the switch.  We encourage you to plan ahead if you haven’t yet upgraded, giving you enough time to check device compatibility, roll out upgrades smoothly, and help your team become comfortable with the new features.

At BizWiseIT, we can help you plan and manage a smooth transition to Windows 11—ensuring your systems stay secure, productive, and ready for the future.  Contact our team today to start your upgrade journey.  We work with businesses across the south, primarily in Crawley, Gatwick, and West Sussex, and are here to help.
