Why Sticking With Windows 10 Could Be Risky

Microsoft officially ends support for Windows 10 on 14th October 2025. That might feel ages away, but here’s the reality: once support stops, your PC won’t get security updates anymore. That’s like leaving your front door unlocked in a dodgy neighbourhood — it works fine until someone decides to walk in.

Here are the main risks of clinging to Windows 10:

• Security holes won’t be patched – Hackers actively target older systems because they know Microsoft won’t fix vulnerabilities.

• New software may not run properly – As developers move on, more apps and programs will start requiring Windows 11.

• Hardware compatibility issues – Printers, drivers, and even future peripherals may stop being supported.

• Compliance problems – If you use your PC for work, especially in industries with data protection rules, running an unsupported OS could cause legal headaches.

Sure, Windows 10 feels familiar and stable, but ignoring upgrades only piles up problems down the road. Transitioning to Windows 11 keeps your system secure, compatible, and future-proof.

The bottom line...
Treat upgrading less like an annoyance and more like regular maintenance — the digital equivalent of an MOT.
