Transcript:

After the 14 of October in 2025, Windows 10 will now become outdated, which will leave critical security updates wide open for hackers and vulnerabilities to get into your network and computers, which can cause devastating consequences within your business.

The top three tips I'd give to businesses would be, to check your professional indemnity insurance to make sure you are covered.

[not all] Not all insurance companies cover out-of-date software.

The second one would be, to check your computer hardware, as not all hardware would be Windows 11 compatible.

The last one would be to make sure that you back up your data for a smooth transition to Windows 11.

Some businesses might continue to use the extended security updates feature. However, you will have to pay a premium per device, per year for this.

It will still allow your Windows 10 devices to continue to get upgrades, however, it will be cheaper in the long run to upgrade to Windows 11 now rather than later.
