Windows 10 End of Life
Why Upgrading Matters
Upgrading to a supported operating system is crucial for maintaining security, compliance, and operational efficiency. Windows 11 offers enhanced security features, including hardware-based protections and smarter threat detection. Businesses will benefit from improved performance, better multitasking capabilities, and ongoing support with critical updates. Staying on Windows 10 could result in compliance issues, especially for regulated industries that require up-to-date software.
Preparing for the Transition
Transitioning from Windows 10 to Windows 11 requires careful planning. At Intravara, we start by inventorying your current systems to determine which ones can be upgraded. Windows 11 has stricter hardware requirements, so older machines may need to be replaced. We ensure your business applications are compatible with Windows 11 and plan training sessions for your team to familiarize them with new features.
Key Questions to Ask Your IT Provider
To ensure a smooth transition, discuss the following with Intravara:
What Windows 10 systems do we have, and what are our upgrade options?
Will our current hardware support Windows 11?
How can we transition smoothly without disrupting our work?
How do we maintain cybersecurity compliance during the change?

Windows 10 End of Life: What It Means for Your Business
As Microsoft prepares to end support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, Intravara is here to help your business navigate this transition smoothly. The end of life for Windows 10 means no more regular security updates, technical support, or bug fixes for one of the most widely used operating systems. Here's what your business needs to know and how Intravara can assist you.
What Happens When Windows 10 Support Ends?
When Windows 10 reaches its end of life, Microsoft will stop providing security updates, technical assistance, and reliability fixes. While your systems will continue to function, they will become increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats. Hackers often target unsupported systems, knowing they lack the latest security patches. Additionally, new software and hardware will be designed for Windows 11, leading to compatibility issues for businesses that continue using Windows 10.
