As we approach October 14, 2025, it’s important to prepare for the end of support for Windows 10. After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide free software updates, technical assistance, or security fixes for Windows 10. While your PC will still function, it will be at greater risk for security threats.
Why upgrade to Windows 11 Pro?
Upgrading to Windows 11 Pro is not just about staying secure: it’s about enhancing your overall computing experience. Here are some compelling reasons to make the switch:
- Enhanced security: Windows 11 Pro offers advanced security features such as BitLocker device encryption and Windows Information Protection, which help safeguard your data against unauthorized access.

- Modern user interface: Enjoy a fresh, modern look with a more intuitive interface that makes it easier to navigate and find what you need.
The security risks of staying on Windows 10
Without regular security updates, devices running Windows 10 will become increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. Here are some of the key risks:
- Malware and viruses: Outdated systems are prime targets for malware and viruses. Without security patches, your PC could be compromised by malicious software.
- Data breaches: Cybercriminals often exploit vulnerabilities in unsupported software to steal sensitive information. This could lead to significant financial and reputational damage.
- Social engineering attacks: Attackers may use social engineering tactics to exploit known vulnerabilities in Windows 10, leading to unauthorized access to your data.
