Support ends October 14 , 2025—every day you delay costs more than you think.
“We’ll Handle It Later” Is A Budget Killer
Post-EOL, Microsoft stops issuing security patches and bug fixes. That leaves you footing the bill for every vulnerability, crash, and compatibility snag. The longer you stay on Windows 10, the higher the hidden costs:
| Hidden Cost | Why It Hurts Now—not Just Later |
|---|---|
| Security Gaps | Unpatched systems are hacker magnets. One breach can wipe out years of profit (and your reputation). |
| App & Device Incompatibility | Popular CRMs, accounting suites, printers, and security tools are already dropping Windows 10 support. Lost function = lost revenue. |
| Productivity Drains | Slow boots, random crashes, and “hang-ups” steal 10–15 minutes per employee per day. Multiply that by payroll—ouch. |
| Emergency Upgrades | Rush hardware orders + after-hours IT labor = 30–50 % premium over planned projects. |
| Compliance Risks | HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and other mandates require supported, secure OSs. Fines and lawsuits dwarf upgrade costs. |
