What would happen to your business if one of your most essential tools suddenly stopped being safe to use?

That’s exactly what’s happening to countless businesses across Metro Atlanta still operating on Windows 10. Microsoft has officially announced that support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025 — and while that may sound like you have time, the reality is: the clock is ticking.

❌ When Microsoft Support Ends, It Really Ends

This isn’t just a routine update. When Windows 10 reaches its end of life, Microsoft will no longer provide:

  • Security updates or patches
  • Bug fixes
  • Technical support for issues

Sure, your devices may still run Windows 10 — but without ongoing protection, your systems will be highly vulnerable to cyberattacks, malware, and compliance risks.

Think of it like leaving your doors unlocked and turning off your security system — you might not get hit right away, but when you do, the damage can be devastating.

⚠️ Too Many Business Owners Are Unprepared

Recent surveys show:

  • 18% of business owners didn’t know support was ending
  • 14% were aware but haven’t started planning for the transition

That’s nearly 1 in 3 businesses putting themselves — and their customers — at serious risk of data breaches, downtime, or worse.

🛑 What About Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates (ESUs)?

Yes, Microsoft will offer Extended Security Updates... for a price. These are not free, go up in cost each year, and should only be viewed as temporary stopgaps — not long-term solutions.

Why pay extra to stay on an outdated system?

✅ The Better Move: Upgrade to Windows 11 Now

Windows 11 is faster, more secure, and built for the way modern businesses work:

  • Enhanced cybersecurity features
  • Streamlined performance and usability
  • Seamless integration with Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and Copilot
  • Support for hybrid and remote teams

But here’s the catch: not all older hardware can run Windows 11. So if your devices aren’t compatible, you’ll need to upgrade your PCs, too.

💡 Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late

The closer we get to October 2025, the more expensive and disruptive this upgrade will become. Last-minute transitions can lead to:

  • Expedited fees
  • Data loss
  • Workflow disruptions
  • Unnecessary stress for you and your team

Proactive businesses in Acworth, Canton, Cartersville, and across Metro Atlanta are already planning their move to Windows 11 — are you?

🔍 Ask Yourself:

  • Are we still using Windows 10?
  • Are our devices ready for Windows 11?
  • Has our IT provider created an upgrade strategy?

If the answer to any of those is “I’m not sure” — it’s time to take action.
