Windows 10 and Office 2019 Support Ending: What You Need to Know

Mar 8, 2025 | IT Support Cambridge, managed IT services

Microsoft has set a deadline: 14th October 2025. On this date, Windows 10 and Office 2019 won’t be getting any more updates. If your business still relies on these versions, it’s crucial to plan your next steps promptly and we’re here to assist you.

What Does This Mean for Your Business?

After the deadline, Microsoft will stop issuing security patches, bug fixes and technical support for Windows 10 and Office 2019. This will leave your systems open to new threats since any new security exploits won’t be closed. Also, newer hardware or software might not work as well with older versions, which can slow down your operations or cause unexpected hiccups.

That being said, you still have time to plan. This is a good moment to take stock of your IT setup. You might switch over to Windows 11, move to a cloud solution or consider other office programs that suit your company’s style. It’s all about finding the option that fits your business best and getting ahead of any potential issues. Rather than waiting until problems start cropping up, now is the time to smooth out the transition.

What Do You Need to Do?
