WINDOWS 10 END OF SUPPORT 14TH OCTOBER 2025

The one-year countdown has begun!

Did you know that in less than one years’ time, Windows 10 reaches end-of-support from Microsoft? End-of-support means no more feature updates and no free access to security updates.

Just like a regular health check-up, it’s time to diagnose the state of your Windows deployment. Use the PC Check app to see if your current machine meets the Windows 11 hardware system requirements.

Need help on your journey to Windows 11 and getting future ready?
