The NCSC has warned Windows 10 users in the UK to prepare for an upgrade to Windows 11, as Windows 10 will reach its end-of-life status on October 14, 2025. With Windows 10 no longer receiving security updates, continued use presents elevated cyber risks. Despite its longevity and large user base, many organizations are reluctant to upgrade. The NCSC advises that any delay in migrating could lead to significant security vulnerabilities, emphasizing the urgency of adopting modern systems before the deadline.
The NCSC said that despite its advanced age, the Windows 10 operating system still has a sizeable user base in the UK and many organisations are hesitant or outright reticent to upgrade.
Organisations now have just three months to urgently update their devices and hardware before Windows 10 reaches end-of-life status putting their security at greater risk.
Not upgrading is akin to incurring a debt at a high interest rate - with the threat of forced repayment at a future date.
The NCSC implores any organisation that has not already migrated to a more modern system to do so to help address security vulnerabilities in your devices.
