Windows 10 Has Reached End of Life — Is Your Business Now at Risk?
Windows 10 officially reached End of Support on 14 October 2025, meaning Microsoft no longer provides free security updates, bug fixes, or technical assistance. Any organisation still running Windows 10 is now increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats, compliance failures, and operational disruptions.
But here's the bigger issue: despite years of notice, over 40% of devices globally are still running Windows 10.
This is confirmed by multiple independent analyses:
- Windows 10 remains installed on just over 40% of devices worldwide as support ended.
- TeamViewer found 40%+ of global endpoints in its telemetry are still running Windows 10.
- Kaspersky data indicates 53% of consumer devices and nearly 60% of corporate systems still rely on Windows 10.
This means hundreds of millions of machines continue to operate without security fixes or protection against newly discovered vulnerabilities.
Did Your MSP Fail to Prepare You?
If you find yourself still on Windows 10 today, it raises some tough questions:
- Did your MSP plan your transition?
- Did they audit your estate?
- Did they communicate risks clearly?
- Or did they leave you exposed?
With security updates gone, experts warn that unpatched systems create a perfect storm for cyberattacks — including ransomware outbreaks similar to the 2017 WannaCry attack that crippled NHS services.
A modern, responsible MSP should have:
- assessed your entire device estate
- created a structured migration plan
- communicated business risk
- addressed hardware compatibility issues
- executed the transition months ahead of the deadline
If that didn't happen, your business deserves better.
How slashdotcom Helps You Move Forward — Quickly and Safely
We specialise in helping businesses modernise their Windows estate using Microsoft's cloud first, automation driven tooling — with clarity, honesty, empathy, kindness, and respect guiding every step.
We don't just "upgrade your PCs."
We rebuild your endpoint environment to be secure, consistent, low maintenance, and future proof.
Our Modernisation Framework
1. Intune: Complete Visibility & Control
We begin by onboarding your estate into Microsoft Intune, giving you an immediate, accurate picture of every Windows 10 device.
Through Intune we:
- audit hardware compatibility
- identify blockers preventing Windows 11 upgrade
- enforce security baselines
- deploy apps and configurations consistently
- roll out Windows 11 upgrades automatically and safely
Intune eliminates manual processes and reduces reliance on an MSP "pushing updates behind the scenes."
2. Windows Autopilot: Modern Device Provisioning
For devices that cannot upgrade due to Windows 11's hardware requirements — such as lacking TPM 2.0 or supported CPUs — we help you refresh hardware seamlessly.
Using Windows Autopilot, we:
- ship devices directly to users or sites
- configure everything automatically through the cloud
- ensure consistent setup, every time
- reduce onboarding time dramatically
Users simply sign in — Autopilot does the rest.
This is ideal for large estate clean ups or staggered refresh projects.
3. Windows Update for Business (WUfB): Always Secure, Always Current
Once your estate is modernised, we configure Windows Update for Business to ensure your devices:
- stay patched
- receive quality updates automatically
- follow safe deployment rings
- rollback cleanly if issues arise
- comply with modern security and insurance requirements
No more waiting for an MSP to "approve" patches.
No more patching windows.
No more vulnerabilities left open for months.
Just secure, automated, cloud driven updates.
Why This Matters More Than Ever
Windows 10 devices will continue to operate, but without security updates they will:
- accumulate unpatched vulnerabilities
- increase your cyber insurance premiums
- breach compliance frameworks
- limit access to new software and services
- create risk across your entire environment
Experts warn that legacy, unpatched endpoints are prime targets — and even one compromised device can expose an entire network.
Ready to Move On From Windows 10?
Whether your MSP failed to act, you were held back by hardware constraints, or you simply lacked internal capacity — we can fix the situation quickly, safely, and professionally.
We'll help you:
- assess your estate
- remove blockers
- modernise your management
- secure your business
- deploy Windows 11
- and reduce your dependency on traditional MSP models
All with a modern, cloud first, automation driven approach that delivers measurable value.
