Too many people are unaware of the possible threat this may cause to their business. We do not want any customers or contacts of ours in Scotland and Northern England to be adversely affected by this decision of Microsoft (which to be fair, has been known for a long time).
Windows 10 has reached the end of its life. After 14 October there will be no more security updates, no bug fixes, and no help from Microsoft if something breaks. This is a potential threat to businesses who choose to do nothing.
For Scottish businesses still running Windows 10, this isn’t just an inconvenience. It’s a serious risk.
Without security updates, every Windows 10 machine becomes a potential entry point for cyber criminals.
With cyber attacks on the rise, this isn’t a “maybe someday” kind of problem, it’s a here and now threat. You wouldn’t leave the front door to your office wide open – so why leave your systems vulnerable?
What should you be doing?
The ideal decision is to upgrade to Windows 11. It’s faster, more secure, and better equipped to support the way businesses work today. However, upgrading isn’t always as simple as pressing a button. Some older devices won’t meet the system requirements for Windows 11. That means you might need to plan for new hardware. But that means spending cash at a time when perhaps you don’t want to, or you’re unable to.
Rental of Windows 11 machines could be the ideal short-term solution allowing breathing space while you plan a migration strategy for those computers which cannot be upgraded.
