The Dangers of Not Upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11
Once Microsoft ends support for Windows 10, businesses still using it will face risks and issues, including:
Risks of Not Upgrading:
- Increased Security Risks: Without regular security updates and patches, you are at risk for more cyberattacks. In October when Windows 10 reaches end of life, Microsoft will no longer provide security patches and updates to Windows 10 machines putting you and your company at greater risk of a cyber-attack.
- Compliance : Increased industry regulations and compliance requirements require you to upgrade your OS or you many face fines. By not updating your end-of-life Windows 10 operating system, you may not meet your regulatory requirements, putting your risk of non-compliance.
- Performance Dips: Windows 10 machines will have trouble running the more powerful Windows 11. Keeping Windows 10 machines to save money will cost you more in lost productivity and downtime.
- No More Technical Support: Microsoft ends support of Windows 10 in October. If you do have an issue with Windows 10, you will not be able to reach out to Microsoft for support to resolve the issue.
Tariff increases predicted to increase workstation and software licensing prices by as much as 25% in the next six months. Most or all your Windows 10 machines will not successfully run the more robust and powerful operating system of Windows 11.
The time to plan, budget, procure and execute your Windows 10 upgrade is now. Don’t risk downtime, lost productivity, and lost revenue. Plan your upgrade today.
