The Windows 10 Deadline is October 14, 2025
Microsoft is officially ending support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, and while free upgrades to Windows 11 are still available today, there’s no guarantee how long that opportunity will last.
Why Waiting to Upgrade to Windows 11 Puts You at Risk
Right now, Microsoft is offering Windows 11 upgrades at no software cost. But after Windows 10 reaches the end of support, businesses still relying on it will face growing risks, including security vulnerabilities, compliance issues, and disruptions as apps phase out support for older systems.
What to Expect from a Windows 11 Upgrade
The MicroMenders team has been working proactively with our managed services clients to upgrade their devices ahead of the deadline, ensuring a smooth transition without surprises. For businesses we don't currently manage, we're offering Windows 11 upgrade support as a standalone project, making it easy and affordable to make the switch.
How an MSP Can Help You Upgrade to Windows 11
The software upgrade may be free, but your time, data, and productivity aren’t. That’s why working with an MSP ensures your upgrade is smooth, secure, and tailored to your specific systems—with no downtime or surprises.
Not every device is compatible with Windows 11. Some older machines may need hardware upgrades, and essential business applications should be tested to ensure they work properly on the new system.
Questions to Ask Your MSP Regarding Windows 11
If you’re already working with an MSP, now’s the time to ask:
- Are they actively planning your Windows 11 upgrade?
- Will your business be ready before the October deadline?
If you don't have a clear upgrade plan in place or you're unsure whether your systems meet the requirements, it's better to address it now while free upgrades are still available.
