The end of Windows 10 support: how to stay secure and upgrade smoothly

The end of Windows 10 support: how to stay secure and upgrade smoothly

Microsoft has confirmed that support for Windows 10 will officially end in October 2025. That means no more security updates, no new features, and no further technical support for Windows 10 users.

For IT teams, this creates an urgent fork in the road. Either:

  • You continue using Windows 10, exposing your network to growing security risks.

  • Or you migrate to Windows 11, which can be time-consuming and disruptive at scale.

Whichever path you choose, Faronics has you covered.


Option 1: Stick with Windows 10? Deep Freeze keeps you protected

Many organisations won’t be able to upgrade to Windows 11 straight away, whether due to hardware limitations, software dependencies, or budget constraints. But running an unsupported OS without protection is a major security risk.

This is where Deep Freeze becomes essential.

With Deep Freeze, every workstation is restored to a clean, known-good state on every reboot. Even if a device is compromised or misconfigured, all changes are wiped instantly: the system is fully restored.

It's a critical layer of defence when Windows 10 is no longer receiving updates. Think of it as your safety net for legacy systems.


Option 2: Ready to migrate to Windows 11? Imaging makes it painless

If your organisation is preparing to move to Windows 11, the challenge is scale. Reimaging hundreds or thousands of devices manually takes time, planning, and IT resources.

Faronics Imaging automates the process.

You can push out new OS images, apps, and settings across your entire environment, remotely and efficiently. No need to touch each device. No bottlenecks. Just a streamlined rollout that gets everyone onto Windows 11 quickly and consistently.

Don’t wait for October 2025. Start preparing now.

Whether you’re staying with Windows 10 for a while longer or making the leap to Windows 11, Faronics can help you do it safely, efficiently, and at scale.
