Microsoft Windows 10 Support Ends: What to Do Next
As of October 14, Microsoft has ended its support for Windows 10, leaving approximately 46% of users with limited options.
The end of Windows 10 support shouldn’t come as a surprise, yet many organisations remain unprepared. Planning gaps, legacy dependencies and budget constraints continue to delay migration, even where devices are technically capable of upgrading. Every day of delay increases risk and makes the transition harder.
According to Dave Adamson, solutions director at Creative ITC, users will no longer receive new features for Windows 10, except for devices enrolled in Extended Security Updates (ESU). This leaves users more vulnerable to attacks, as exploiters can gain access to devices and data.
- No new features for Windows 10 (except for ESU-enrolled devices)
