Windows 10 End of Life
Microsoft is ending it's support for Windows 10 in October 2025. This means they will no longer issue patches, fixes, or updates for Windows 10, making continued use increasingly risky.
Windows 11 has more stringent hardware requirements than previous versions, such as requiring a TPM and Intel 8th gen or newer processor. Computers without a TPM, and those running incompatible processors cannot be upgraded.
For specific use cases, ROI Technology can purchase an annual ESU license on your behalf. ESU, or extended support and updates, is an agreement from Microsoft to continue providing updates and patch vulnerabilities for a limited amount of time.
Your account manager will be in touch in the coming weeks with an estimate for replacement cost of incompatible hardware. You can also check the IT portal for an inventory of devices.
Continuing to run Windows 10 after the end of life date is risky. Without regular updates, Windows 10 will become increasingly more vulnerable to newly discovered vulnerabilities, and after October 2025, Microsoft will no longer issue fixes. You may also be out of compliance with any industry regulations and standards, and your cyber insurance carrier may increase rates or drop your coverage as a result.
