October 14, 2025.
Mark the date — because that’s when Microsoft officially ends support for Windows 10.
Sure, it feels like you’ve got time. But in tech years? That’s practically tomorrow.
When the clock runs out, so do your security updates, bug fixes, and vendor support. And that’s a big deal. Outdated systems invite cyber threats, compliance headaches, and productivity slowdowns — and the last thing you want is to deal with that in the middle of Q4 chaos.
1. So, What Happens If You’re Still on Windows 10?
If your business is still running on Windows 10, you’ll need to make a move — and soon.
You’ve got two options:
- Upgrade to Windows 11 — if your hardware can handle it.
- Replace older devices — if they don’t make the cut.
But here’s the catch: not all machines are eligible. And in Canada alone, millions of devices are expected to be replaced before the deadline. Translation? Backorders, longer lead times, and rising costs are coming — especially if you wait until fall.
