Key Takeaways
- Free support for Windows 10 ends in two weeks.

- Systems running Windows 10 will become prime targets for cyberattacks.
- Extended Security Updates (ESUs) are available—but costly and temporary.
- Upgrading to Windows 11 offers stronger security, better performance, and long-term support.

Microsoft is about to pull the plug on free support for Windows 10—and that could leave your business exposed.
In just two weeks, updates and security patches will cease, rendering every Windows 10 machine vulnerable.
If you’re still running Windows 10, the time to act is now. At NSI, we’re here to help you transition safely, ensuring your business remains protected.
Why This Matters to Your Business
When Microsoft ends support, your Windows 10 systems won’t just be outdated—they’ll be vulnerable. Without security updates, cybercriminals can exploit unpatched weaknesses to access your network, steal data, or disrupt operations.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that staying on Windows 10 could bring your business to a standstill. A single breach can cause downtime, financial loss, and reputational damage that takes months (or years) to recover from.
The Problem with “Waiting It Out”
Some companies are hoping to buy time with Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates (ESUs). While ESUs can provide limited security patches, they come with two significant issues:
- They’re expensive—and the price increases each year.
- They don’t add new features or functionality—just minimal protection.
In short, ESUs are only a temporary bandage. They don’t move your business forward, and they delay the inevitable.
Why Windows 11 Is the Smart Move
Windows 11 was built for today’s workplace. It’s faster, more secure, and designed to support hybrid and remote teams. Upgrading gives you access to the latest tools, performance improvements, and ongoing support.
But here’s the catch: not every device can run Windows 11. Older hardware may not meet Microsoft’s requirements. That means you may need to factor in new hardware purchases as part of your upgrade plan—another reason not to leave this decision until the last minute.

FAQs
How much time do we have left on Windows 10?
Only about two weeks. After that, Microsoft ends all free support and security updates.
Can’t we pay for extended security updates (ESUs)?
You can—but ESUs are expensive, their costs increase each year, and they offer only temporary security coverage without new features.
What if our devices aren’t compatible with Windows 11?
We’ll help you identify which devices qualify and provide guidance on cost-effective replacements if needed.
Will upgrading disrupt our daily operations?
With the proper planning, no. NSI can manage the migration to ensure minimal downtime for your team.
