ATTENTION BUSINESS OWNERS & IT LEADERS:
Effective today, October 14, 2025, Microsoft has officially ended support for Windows 10.
If your business is still running Windows 10 on any workstation, your systems are now exposed to severe, unmitigated security risks.
What This Means for Your Business
The official End-of-Life (EOL) for Windows 10 has eliminated vital protection:
- Zero New Security Updates: Your workstations will no longer receive critical security patches from Microsoft. Any newly discovered vulnerabilities—including those that facilitate ransomware and data breaches—will go unaddressed.
- Immediate Security Risk: Every Windows 10 system is now a massive liability, creating a significant security gap in your network.
- Compliance Failure (HIPAA/etc.): For healthcare entities, running unsupported software is a direct failure to implement appropriate safeguards. This puts you in violation of the HIPAA Security Rule, increasing your liability for severe fines and corrective actions in the event of a breach.
Windows Server 2022: Next On Deck
