When Windows 10 support ends, Microsoft will cease providing no-charge essential security updates and assistance — leaving your systems vulnerable to cyberthreats. Even if you purchase the Extended Security Updates (ESU) device support, continuing with Windows 10 after support ends increases the risk of security breaches and non-compliance, exposing your organization to legal penalties and reputational damage.
The urgency is real. Escalating costs and heightened security risks make delaying your Windows 11 migration a gamble you shouldn’t take. Don’t wait until the cost and risks are unmanageable. Acting now spares you from these costs and risks, and positions your organization to benefit from Windows 11’s enhanced security and features.
Procrastinating your Windows 11 migration isn’t a trivial matter. It directly exposes your organization to significant risks that can severely impact your finances, compromise your security, and threaten your legal compliance. Inaction today can lead to irreversible consequences tomorrow.
Outdated systems lead to unexpected costs that strain organizational budgets. Emergency fixes for aging technology often end up costing more than planned. Non-compliance with regulations can result in substantial fines, disrupting operational stability. Also, system downtime isn’t just inconvenient; it’s a direct loss of revenue and productivity and can affect employees’ daily work, leading to frustration and decreased morale.
An unsupported operating system is an open door for cybercriminals. Data breaches aren’t distant possibilities; they’re imminent threats. A single breach can compromise sensitive information and irreparably damage your reputation. As everyone knows: Trust, once lost, is hard to regain.
Failing to adhere to regulations like GDPR or NIS2 isn’t just a legal issue, it’s a business risk. Non-compliance can lead to severe penalties and erode customer trust. Clients prefer organizations that prioritize data protection and compliance.
