As a valued client of Simple Solution Tech, we want to ensure that your systems remain secure and up-to-date. With Microsoft officially ending support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, it’s crucial to start planning your upgrade strategy now. Here’s why upgrading to Windows 11 or switching to an alternative operating system should be a priority.
What Happens After October 14, 2025?
After this date, Microsoft will stop providing free security updates for Windows 10. Without these updates, any new vulnerabilities discovered in the operating system will remain unpatched, leaving your systems exposed to cyber threats and attacks. This creates a significant risk of data breaches, malware infections, and other security issues.
Expert Advice: Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late
Cybersecurity experts strongly advise against waiting until the last minute to upgrade. According to Thorsten Urbanski from the cybersecurity firm ESET, users should transition to Windows 11 or another secure operating system as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary risks.
“We strongly advise all users not to wait until October, but to switch to Windows 11 immediately or choose an alternative operating system if their device cannot be updated to the latest Windows operating system. Otherwise, users expose themselves to considerable security risks and make themselves vulnerable to dangerous cyber attacks and data loss.” — Thorsten Urbanski, ESET Security Expert
Current Adoption Rates
As of late 2024, around 63% of global Windows users are still on Windows 10, while only about 34% have upgraded to Windows 11. This means a large number of users are still at risk of facing unsupported systems in less than a year.
In Germany alone, 65% of household devices still run on Windows 10, compared to only 33% on Windows 11. These statistics highlight the urgency of making the switch sooner rather than later.
