By BNC Systems — Your Trusted Partner for IT Consulting and Outsourcing in Dallas and Denver
What’s Changing
Microsoft has announced that support for Windows 10 officially ended on October 14, 2025. After this date, devices running Windows 10 will no longer receive security patches, technical support, or feature updates.
While your systems will continue to run, they’ll operate without Microsoft’s protection — creating serious security and compliance risks for you or your business. This is exactly the kind of event that cybercriminals exploit, which is why BNC Systems is urging all organizations to begin planning their upgrade now.
As a leading business network consulting and IT outsourcing firm in Dallas, we’re helping clients create a smooth, cost-effective migration strategy that minimizes downtime and keeps data secure.
Why This Matters for Your Business
- Elevated Security Risks
Now Microsoft stopped providing security updates, vulnerabilities in Windows 10 will remain unpatched — creating easy entry points for malware, ransomware, and data breaches.
BNC Systems has seen firsthand how unsupported systems become prime targets for cyberattacks. Upgrading as soon as possible is the most effective way to safeguard your network and reduce exposure.
- Compliance and Insurance Concerns
Many industries require systems to run on supported software to meet compliance standards. Running Windows 10 now could violate insurance or regulatory requirements.
Our IT consulting team in Dallas helps clients maintain compliance by identifying at-risk systems and implementing upgrade plans that align with data protection standards.
- Compatibility and Performance Issues
As new software versions and drivers are released, Windows 10 users will face increasing compatibility problems. Applications may stop working, updates may fail, and overall performance can degrade.
BNC Systems provides business network consulting to assess your technology stack and ensure all critical systems continue to perform reliably after migration.
- Operational Disruption and Unexpected Costs
Unsupported operating systems can lead to system crashes, downtime, and emergency repair bills. Proactive upgrades are far more affordable than reactive fixes.
Our IT outsourcing team in Dallas helps businesses plan phased migrations that minimize disruption and keep operations running smoothly.
How to Upgrade: A Proven Roadmap with BNC
Step 1: Assess Your Current Environment
BNC Systems will audit your network and identify all devices running Windows 10, documenting hardware specs, software dependencies, and upgrade readiness.
Step 2: Determine the Best Path Forward
Depending on your systems, we’ll recommend upgrading compatible devices to Windows 11 or replacing those that don’t meet hardware requirements. We’ll also advise on interim options such as Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates if needed.
Step 3: Develop a Strategic Migration Plan
Our business network consulting team will create a rollout plan that balances timelines, budget, and minimal user disruption. We test upgrades, train your staff, and ensure business continuity throughout the process.
Step 4: Strengthen Your Security Posture
For systems that must temporarily remain on Windows 10, BNC Systems implements advanced monitoring, endpoint protection, and network segmentation to reduce risk until full migration is complete.
