As of October 14, Microsoft has ended its support for Windows 10, leaving approximately 46% of users with limited options.
"The end of Windows 10 support shouldn’t come as a surprise, yet many organisations remain unprepared. Planning gaps, legacy dependencies and budget constraints continue to delay migration, even where devices are technically capable of upgrading. Every day of delay increases risk and makes the transition harder." - Dave Adamson, Solutions Director at Creative ITC
Without support, Windows 10 users will no longer receive new features, unless enrolled in Extended Security Updates (ESU), and will be more vulnerable to attacks that can exploit vulnerabilities and gain access to devices and data.
Users must take action to mitigate these risks and consider upgrading to a supported version of Windows.
