On October 14, 2025, Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10. This means that devices still using Windows 10 will no longer receive security updates, bug fixes and functionality improvements. For businesses, this represents a critical point: maintaining equipment with obsolete operating systems can jeopardize security, productivity and competitiveness.
What does the end of support imply?
Once support ends, Windows 10 devices will be exposed to unresolved vulnerabilities. This not only affects data protection, but also regulatory compliance in sectors where IT security is key. In addition, devices could become incompatible with new applications and services, limiting the ability to innovate.
Windows 11 Pro: a necessary evolution
Upgrading to Windows 11 Pro is not only a matter of security, but also of efficiency. Organizations that have already migrated have reported a 58% reduction in security incidents, thanks to its advanced hardware-backed layers of protection.
Among its main advantages are the following:
- Full compatibility with existing applications and hardware.
- Better performance and autonomy for full working days.
- Enterprise AI features integrated into the new Copilot+ PCs, the fastest, smartest and most secure devices to date.
- Ease of deployment, using the same tools and strategies already employed with Windows 10.
Microsoft provides companies with a number of resources to facilitate the migration:
- IDC report "Understanding Employee Productivity and Satisfaction Benefits of Next-Generation AI PCs as You Plan Your Next Refresh".
- Forrester's Windows End of Support Device Calculator to help IT teams create a business case.
- Preparation and administration:
- Step-by-step implementation guidance and recommended procedures in Microsoft Learn.
- Map out a plan towards the end of Windows 10 support with Windows 11, Windows 365, and ESU.
Don't leave it to the last minute.
Many organizations have already taken the plunge and are experiencing the benefits of working with Windows 11 Pro. With its optimized performance, AI capabilities and advanced security, it is positioned as a key tool to meet the challenges of today's digital environment.
