🖥️ Windows 10 Is Reaching End of Support — What That Means for You

Big changes are coming in the world of tech, and if you’re still running Windows 10, it’s time to start planning ahead. Microsoft officially announced that Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025 — and that means the clock is ticking. 🕒


But don’t worry. Geeks On The Go is here to walk you through what this means, why it matters, and how to stay secure and up to date.


⚠️ What Does “End of Support” Mean?


When Microsoft ends support for an operating system, they stop providing:


  • Security updates and patches

  • Bug fixes

  • Technical support

  • Feature updates


After October 14, 2025, Windows 10 users will be more vulnerable to security threats, malware, and compatibility issues.


💡 Why You Shouldn’t Ignore This


Running an unsupported system is like locking your front door but leaving the windows wide open. Without security updates, your PC is a sitting duck for hackers, ransomware, and viruses.


For small businesses, this can be especially risky — customer data, financial info, and employee systems could all be compromised.


🧠 Your Options


1. Upgrade to Windows 11

Most modern PCs are compatible with Windows 11, and it’s the easiest way to stay secure. Windows 11 offers a modern interface, improved multitasking, and better performance.


2. Buy a New PC

If your current device isn’t compatible with Windows 11, this might be a good time to upgrade your hardware. The good news? New PCs are faster, more efficient, and more secure.


3. (Not Recommended) Pay for Extended Security Updates (ESUs)

Microsoft may offer paid security updates for businesses, but these are typically costly and temporary — a stopgap, not a solution.
