Windows 10 is retiring: what you need to know before October 2025

What does ‘no more support’ mean?

From October 2025, Windows 10 no longer receives security updates. Your PC keeps working, but new vulnerabilities are no longer fixed.

Why is Microsoft doing this anyway?

Microsoft focuses its development and security efforts on Windows 11 and newer platforms.

What now? Do you need a new laptop right away?

Not necessarily: many devices can be upgraded to Windows 11. We are happy to check which of your devices qualify.

And if you just do nothing?

Then your risk grows month by month. Especially for business use, that is not a responsible choice.
