Windows 10 End of Life: What are your options?
Microsoft is ending Windows 10 support. This blog explores your options, including upgrading current hardware, investing in new PCs (including AI-ready models), or extending Windows 10 support. Find out which path makes the most sense for your business. Read the blog and contact GingerSec to discuss your next best step.
What happens when Windows 10 support ends?
When Windows 10 support ends, organizations will no longer receive security updates or technical support, making their systems vulnerable to cyber threats and compliance issues. Continuing to use Windows 10 without support is not advisable for those prioritizing security and operational stability.
What are the options for organizations not ready to upgrade?
Organizations can choose to stay on Windows 10 and pay for Extended Security Updates (ESU) offered by Microsoft. This option provides critical security updates for a limited time beyond the end-of-support date, but it is a temporary solution, and a transition to a supported operating system will eventually be necessary.
Is upgrading existing devices to Windows 11 a viable option?
Yes, upgrading existing devices to Windows 11 can be a cost-effective strategy. This approach enhances security and productivity features while extending the lifespan of current hardware. Organizations should ensure their devices meet the minimum system requirements for Windows 11 to maximize performance and delay the need for a full hardware refresh.
