Windows 10 has been a reliable companion for businesses and individuals alike, providing a robust platform for productivity and innovation. However, all good things come to an end. As Microsoft has announced, support for Windows 10 will officially conclude on October 14, 2025. While this date might seem far off, the time to act is now.
When Windows 10 reaches its End of Support (EOS), Microsoft will no longer provide:
In today’s ever-evolving digital landscape, operating systems that lack support and updates quickly become vulnerabilities. Here’s why upgrading to Windows 11 should be a top priority for your business:
1. Security First: Protect Your Business
Cyber security threats are constantly evolving, and unsupported systems are prime targets for attackers. Without regular updates, Windows 10 will leave your organisation exposed to risks that could compromise sensitive data, disrupt operations, and damage your reputation. Windows 11 is built with advanced security features, such as hardware-based isolation and enhanced encryption, offering robust protection against modern threats.
2. Enhanced Productivity and Performance
Windows 11 isn’t just a new operating system; it’s designed to enhance productivity with features like improved multitasking, snap layouts, and integration with Microsoft Teams. Its performance upgrades make it more efficient, ensuring your team can work faster and smarter.
3. Future-Proof Your Technology
By upgrading to Windows 11, you’re aligning your IT infrastructure with future innovation. Staying up to date with Microsoft’s latest OS ensures compatibility with new software, devices, and technologies, positioning your organisation to stay competitive in a rapidly changing world.

4. Cost of Waiting
Delaying the upgrade might save costs in the short term but could lead to higher expenses down the line. Unsupported systems require more maintenance, are vulnerable to costly cyberattacks, and may not support essential applications or integrations. Upgrading proactively allows you to spread out costs and avoid the panic of a last-minute migration.
5. Seamless Transition with Expert Support
Migrating to a new operating system can feel overwhelming, but with the right partner, the process can be seamless. At FUJIFILM CodeBlue Australia, we specialise in helping organisations plan and execute smooth transitions to new technologies. From assessing your current environment to ensuring your team is fully equipped to leverage Windows 11, we’re here every step of the way.
Don’t Let an Open Door Become a Security Risk
While the old adage ‘if it’s not broken, why fix it?’ might hold true for some things, EoS is not one such area. Clinging to Windows 10 after its EOS date is akin to leaving your front door unlocked in a neighbourhood you know is becoming riskier. Upgrading to Windows 11 is more than an update; it’s an investment in your organisation’s security, productivity, and future.
