How Windows 10 End of Life Will Impact Your PC—and What You Can Do About It

Written by Bit by Bit | Jul 14, 2025 1:00:00 PM

The countdown is on: Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. While your PC won’t suddenly stop working, the consequences of continuing to use an unsupported operating system are real—and risky. 

At Bit by Bit, we’re helping businesses like yours prepare for this transition with expert guidance, Microsoft-certified solutions, and a complimentary upgrade assessment. 

What Happens After Windows 10 Support Ends? 

Once Windows 10 reaches its end of life, Microsoft will no longer provide: 

  • Security updates or patches 
  • Technical support 
  • Bug fixes or performance enhancements 

This leaves your PC exposed to cyber threats, performance degradation, and compatibility issues with new software and hardware. 

How It Will Affect Your PC 

  1. Performance Degradation 

Without regular updates, your PC may experience: 

  • Slower processing speeds 
  • Frequent system crashes 
  • Reduced efficiency and increased downtime 

  

  1. Increased Malware Risk 

Cybercriminals target outdated systems. Without security patches, your PC becomes a soft target for: 

  • Malware and ransomware 
  • Phishing attacks 
  • Data breaches and financial loss 

  

  1. Compatibility Challenges

New applications and hardware are optimized for Windows 11. Staying on Windows 10 could mean: 

  • Inability to run new software 
  • Hardware driver conflicts 
  • Missed opportunities for innovation 

  

Why Upgrade to Windows 11? 

Windows 11 is more than just a new interface—it’s a leap forward in performance, security, and productivity: 

  • Advanced Security: TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and hardware-based isolation protect against modern threats. 
  • Improved Performance: Faster boot times, better memory management, and smoother multitasking. 
  • Modern User Experience: A sleek, intuitive interface designed for hybrid work environments. 
  • Future-Ready Infrastructure: Seamless integration with Microsoft 365 and Teams, plus support for the latest hardware and software
