Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t we just keep using Windows 10 after October?
Technically yes, but we strongly advise against it. Microsoft will stop releasing security updates, leaving your systems vulnerable to active threats.
What happens if we wait until September or October?
You’ll likely face bottlenecks, higher costs, and last-minute chaos. Planning early avoids the headache.
What’s the actual risk of doing nothing?
- Phishing and malware attacks
- Incompatible new software
- Compliance breaches
- Rejected insurance claims
Will we lose any data during the upgrade?
No. We back up everything first so you don’t lose bookmarks, emails, printer settings, or documents.
How much downtime should we expect?
Most upgrades take 1–2 hours per device. We schedule around your team to minimise disruption.
What if our apps don’t work on Windows 11?
We’ll test compatibility beforehand and recommend solutions if issues arise.
Can’t we just do this ourselves?
In theory yes, but it’s rarely smooth. We handle backups, compatibility, and timing to avoid costly mistakes.
Cyber Insurance Implications
Most cyber insurance policies include specific language requiring that the systems under coverage are actively supported by their vendors, regularly patched, and maintained to a “reasonable security standard.”
After October 14, Windows 10 will no longer receive security updates from Microsoft. From an insurance perspective, that places any Windows 10 device firmly in “unsupported” territory.
In the event of a breach, ransomware attack, or data loss incident involving one of those machines (or even if it’s simply part of the affected network), insurers may:
- Deny the claim outright
- Reduce the payout
- Or reject liability for failing to meet basic security obligations
We’re already seeing more insurers asking businesses to attest that they are not running unsupported software. Others may review systems during underwriting or renewal. Either way, unsupported endpoints present a documented claims risk.
If you hold cyber insurance—or plan to apply—this is a critical factor to address proactively.
Regulatory & Contractual Compliance Risks
For businesses that handle sensitive data—such as customer records, payment info, intellectual property, or regulated communications—continuing to run Windows 10 can pose compliance risks, even in the absence of an actual security incident.
Most modern data protection frameworks (including GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001) share a core requirement: that organisations take “reasonable steps” to protect the data they hold. Using systems known to be unsupported after a public end-of-life date may not meet that threshold.
In the event of an audit, internal review, or legal dispute, the presence of unsupported operating systems could be cited as a failure of due diligence, particularly if those systems play a role in the organisation’s core operations or data handling workflows.
In some industries, client contracts may also require that IT systems be kept current, patched, and supported, making this an issue of legal, not just technical, compliance.
