Win 10, Office 2016 & 2019 EOL
As a Managed IT services provider, we keep a close eye on critical milestones in technology—and an important one is coming up. Microsoft has officially announced that on October 14, 2025, it will end support for Windows 10, Office 2016, and Office 2019. This marks the end of updates, security patches, and technical support for these versions. Now is the time to start planning your upgrade to stay secure and productive.
What Does End of Support Mean for Your Business?
When Microsoft ends support for a product, they stop releasing:
- Security Updates: Unpatched vulnerabilities become a significant risk for your business.
- Bug Fixes: Any software/OS bugs or performance issues won’t be addressed.
- Customer Support: You won’t be able to access technical support for troubleshooting issues.
Using outdated software puts your business at risk of cyberattacks, data breaches, and compliance violations.
