ANN ARBOR, Mich. - eTradeWire -- Are you prepared for the end of Windows 10 support?

Microsoft has announced that it will officially end support for Windows 10 in October 2025. While that may seem like a long way off, it's actually closer than you think! Now is the time to start planning your transition to ensure your systems remain secure and up to date.

Why Running an Unsupported Operating System is a Bad Idea

Once Microsoft ends support for Windows 10, the operating system will no longer receive security updates, bug fixes, or technical support. This leaves your system vulnerable to cyber threats, including malware, ransomware, and data breaches. Running an outdated OS is a significant security risk, especially for businesses and organizations that handle sensitive information.

Upgrading to Windows 11

The good news is that many newer systems are eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 11. If your PC meets the hardware requirements, upgrading is a simple process that ensures continued security and feature updates.

What If Your System Can't Upgrade?

Not all older systems meet the compatibility requirements for Windows 11. If your current device is not eligible for an upgrade, you still have several options:

• Upgrade Your Hardware: Some older systems can be upgraded to meet the Windows 11 compatibility requirements. This may involve upgrading your processor, RAM, or storage.
• Purchase a New System: If your device is too outdated to upgrade, investing in a new system pre-installed with Windows 11 is a smart and future-proof decision.
• Extended Support for Windows 10: Microsoft offers extended support options for businesses that need more time to transition.
• Third-Party Security Support: NSG can assist you in purchasing a 0Patch subscription to extend the security life of your Windows 10 system beyond the official support date.
