Time is running out for Windows 10. Microsoft has officially announced that support for Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025. After this date, Windows 10 PCs will still function, but they will no longer receive security updates, patches, or technical support. This means any new vulnerabilities discovered after the deadline will go unpatched, and Microsoft 365 apps will lose official support.
The clock is ticking — now is the time for SMBs to act and for resellers to guide their clients through the transition.
What Your Customers Need to Know Before Windows 10 Support Ends
Deadline: Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025. No more patches, fixes, or tech assistance will be provided after this date.
Security Risk: Continuing to use Windows 10 post-EOS exposes systems to new malware and cyber threats. Microsoft warns that critical business apps may begin to fail or slow down on outdated systems.
Cost of Delay: Microsoft will offer Extended Security Updates (ESU) for Windows 10, but these come with annual fees. Upgrading now to Windows 11 Pro avoids these recurring costs.
Free Upgrades: Any compatible Windows 10 PC (version 2004 or later) can upgrade to Windows 11 Pro at no additional OS cost via Windows Update. Resellers should highlight this as a smooth and cost-effective upgrade path.
Opportunity: Transitioning to Windows 11 now gives SMBs a competitive edge with modern security, performance, and productivity features.
Why Early Action Matters
Waiting until late 2025 invites unnecessary stress. By then, budgets may be tight, and IT teams could be overwhelmed. Instead, plan upgrades now. As a reseller, you can bundle Windows 11 Pro with new PCs or services, offering clients a seamless transition.
Emphasize how Windows 11’s advanced security layers protect sensitive data without compromising performance. For industries like finance, healthcare, or legal, staying current also helps meet strict compliance and data protection standards.
