The Risks of Staying with Windows 10 After End of Life
The Risks of Staying with Windows 10 After End of Life
When Windows 10 reaches end of life in October you should be aware of the risks from continuing to use an unsupported Microsoft OS on your computer. In this blog post, we'll discuss the risks including security and other potential threats and explain the lack of support from Microsoft and compatibility issues with new software and hardware.
Security Risks and Other Threats
Cybercriminals target computers running an unsupported OS. Without regular security updates and critical patches, your machine will be more vulnerable to malware, ransomware, and other cyber threats. These attacks can lead to cyber breaches, data and financial loss, and damage to your reputation.
End of Microsoft Support
Microsoft will no longer provide technical support, security updates, and critical performance patches when Windows 10 reaches end of life in October. Any vulnerabilities or issues that arise will remain unresolved and unsupported leaving you at great risk.
Compatibility Issues with New Software and Hardware
As technology advances, new software and hardware are developed to work with the latest operating systems. Continuing to use Windows 10 can result in compatibility issues, preventing you from taking advantage of new features and functionalities. Upgrading to Windows 11 ensures that your system remains compatible with the latest technology.
Tariffs
The tariff war with China is already causing PC prices to go up with some predicting a 20-40% increase in the next 3-6 months. If you are planning an upgrade the time to act is now.
