Windows 10 Is Reaching End of Life – Here’s What You Need to Do
On the 14th of October, Windows 10 will no longer be supported by Microsoft. You need to act now to prepare.
Microsoft has officially announced that Windows 10 will reach End of Life on October 14, 2025. After this date, Windows 10 devices will no longer receive security updates, bug fixes, or technical support. For businesses, this presents a serious risk - running unsupported systems can expose your organisation to cyber threats, compliance issues, and costly downtime.
To stay protected and fully supported, you now have three clear options:
Option 1: Upgrade to Windows 11
If your current device is compatible with Windows 11, you can simply upgrade your operating system - and it’s easier than ever.
Nitec customers can upgrade quickly and hassle-free using the Nitec Portal:
- Log in
- Head to the Campaigns section
- Locate the Windows 10 EOL campaign
- Click "Upgrade Now"
You’ll be running Windows 11 in no time, with minimal disruption to your day-to-day work.
Option 2: Replace Your Device
If your current machine can’t support Windows 11, it’s time to start planning for a replacement. While this may feel like an extra expense, it’s actually a great opportunity to refresh your hardware - and thanks to exclusive HP offers, you can get excellent value while doing so.
Here’s what’s available right now:
- 10% Cashback on eligible HP device purchases
- £100 Trade-In Bonus when you recycle your old device
- £50 AI Bonus for devices purchased from the HP AI Program
These offers help you save money, stay secure, and upgrade your technology in one smooth move.
Option 3: Decommission your device
If your device cannot be upgraded and you don't need to purchase a new one, you can get in contact with the Nitec team to retire your old device through the contact methods below.
- Contact your Nitec account manager
- Log a service desk ticket
Why Acting Now Matters
Waiting until Windows 10 support ends could leave your organisation:
- Open to security breaches and data loss
- Non-compliant with industry regulations
- Facing disruption due to unsupported software and hardware
By upgrading, replacing or retiring devices ahead of the deadline, you’re investing in cybersecurity, performance, and peace of mind.
