Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10. DYOPATH can help your business prepare for a secure transition.
October 14, 2025: It’s not just another date on the calendar—it’s the day Windows 10 reaches its end of life. After that, Microsoft will stop providing updates, patches, and technical support for the OS that’s currently running on millions of business devices.
So, what does that mean for your organization? And what can you do now to avoid security, compliance, and operational headaches later?
Let’s walk through the answers—without the jargon—and show you how DYOPATH can help you get ahead of the curve.
What Happens When Windows 10 Reaches End of Life?
After October 14, 2025, Microsoft won’t issue any more updates or security patches for Windows 10. That includes:
- No more security updates, leaving you open to vulnerabilities
- Increased risk of cyberattacks, including ransomware and malware
- Software incompatibility with newer apps, platforms, and services
- Compliance risks, especially in regulated industries where supported software is a must
Basically, if you’re still using Windows 10, your systems become easier to attack and harder to maintain.
“But My Computer Still Works” — Why That’s Not Enough
We hear it all the time: “The machine still turns on—why upgrade?”
Yes, the computer might boot up. But behind the scenes, it’s vulnerable, unsupported, and more expensive to maintain than you might think.
Here’s why keeping outdated systems around is risky business:
- Unsupported OS = Unsupported Security
Even the best antivirus can’t fully protect an unpatched system. - Downtime Is Expensive
If systems crash or slow down, productivity suffers, and the cost adds up quickly. - The Upgrade Gap Widens
The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to catch up. Hardware ages, compatibility shrinks, and your upgrade path gets bumpier.
