On the 14th October 2025, Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10. For many people and businesses, this raises an important question: what does this really mean for me?
When a version of Windows reaches the end of its lifecycle, Microsoft no longer provides updates, bug fixes, or security patches. Your computer won’t suddenly stop working, but over time it will become more vulnerable to new threats. This is especially important for anyone using their device for work, finances, or sensitive information.
That’s where Windows 11 comes in. Microsoft’s newest operating system has been designed with security, performance, and usability in mind. It offers faster load times, smoother multitasking, and better energy efficiency; something you’ll notice whether you’re working on complex projects or just browsing the web. The redesigned interface is also more streamlined and user-friendly, making everyday tasks feel easier and more intuitive. Beyond the immediate improvements, Windows 11 is built to be future-proof, with ongoing support and updates for years ahead.
At the same time, we understand that not everyone is ready, or needs to upgrade right away. If your Windows 10 device is working well and meeting your needs, it’s perfectly reasonable to continue using it for now. Our approach has always been rooted in sustainability, and we don’t believe in encouraging unnecessary upgrades that contribute to e-waste. Instead, we recommend planning ahead so you can make the transition smoothly when the time is right.
For those considering an upgrade, we’re here to help you assess whether your current device can be updated to Windows 11 or whether it’s time to invest in new hardware. And when the time comes to replace your machine, there are options for recycling and reusing older devices responsibly.
The end of Windows 10 support is an opportunity to think about your future setup and how technology can continue to serve you best. Whether you stay on Windows 10 a little longer or make the switch to Windows 11 soon, we’re here to support you with the right balance of performance, security, and sustainability.
