Time Out! Computers supports businesses across Australia with all things ICT and Cyber Security. Today, we’re sending out an important update that every business owner, manager, and operator needs to know about:
Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 on 14 October 2025.
That may sound far away, but the time to act is now.
❓ What Does Windows 10 End of Life Mean?
When an operating system reaches End of Life (EOL), Microsoft stops releasing:
- Security updates
- Bug fixes
- Technical support
Without these, your device becomes a prime target for cyber criminals. Even with antivirus software, an unsupported operating system is a major security risk.
For businesses, this can lead to:
- Data breaches
- Compliance issues
- Insurance complications
- Increased downtime and costs
🔐 Why It’s Critical for Your Business
As a Managed Services Provider (MSP) with a strong focus on Cyber Security, we want our clients to understand the importance of staying ahead of EOL deadlines.
Running outdated systems not only increases the risk of cyber threats, but it can also invalidate your cyber insurance policies, reduce productivity, and impact the reliability of your entire IT environment.
✅ What Should You Do Now?
To ensure your business is prepared, Time Out! Computers recommends the following actions:
1. Audit Your Current Devices
We’ll help you identify which computers are still running Windows 10, and whether they’re eligible for an upgrade.
2. Upgrade to Windows 11 (Where Possible)
Not all hardware is compatible with Windows 11. We’ll assess your existing setup and upgrade wherever it’s safe and secure to do so.
3. Replace Outdated Devices
If your device isn’t suitable for Windows 11, we can provide fit-for-purpose laptops, desktops, and accessories. All hardware comes pre-configured and optimised for your business.
4. Plan Early to Avoid Last-Minute Disruption
The closer we get to October 2025, the more likely delays and backlogs will occur — both in supply and service delivery. Let’s get ahead of that together.

Time Out! Computers offers complete solutions — from hardware supply to device setup, data backup, and ongoing protection through our CyberSafeNSecure Suite.
