Microsoft to End Support for Windows 10 in October 2025 – Connectus Urges Businesses to Prepare Now

Microsoft has confirmed that support for Windows 10 will officially end in October 2025. Connectus is advising businesses to take proactive steps now to mitigate the risks associated with running unsupported systems.

Once support ends, Windows 10 devices will no longer receive critical security updates, leaving organisations increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats. In addition, businesses are likely to face compatibility issues with newer software and hardware, alongside potential performance and reliability challenges.

“Delaying an upgrade beyond October 2025 will expose organisations to unnecessary risk and operational disruption,” said Roy Shelton, CEO at Connectus. “By preparing now, SMEs can ensure a smooth transition to modern, secure, and efficient systems that protect both their operations and their customers.”

Connectus is currently working with clients across the UK to develop tailored migration strategies, designed to reduce downtime, improve security posture, and optimise long-term IT performance.

Businesses are encouraged to begin planning their upgrade pathway immediately to avoid supply chain bottlenecks, last-minute implementation challenges, and heightened security exposure.
