Frequently Asked Questions
When is Windows 10 going end of life?
Windows 10 will officially go end of life on October 14, 2025.
After this date, devices running Windows 10 will no longer receive security updates, patches, or technical support.
What are our options?
- Upgrade to Windows 11 for free*
*if devices meet requirements and you have a paid-up version of Windows 10 - Purchase new devices with Windows 11
- Switch to an alternative OS like Linux
- Enroll in Microsoft's Extended Security Updates (ESUs) for temporary security patches.
What happens if we don't upgrade from Windows 10 by the deadline?
Devices will become increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats, compliance risks, and software incompatibilities. Many software vendors will stop supporting Windows 10, and you may experience performance issues over time.
Can we continue using Windows 10 after October 14, 2025?
Yes, but it’s highly discouraged due to security risks, compliance issues, and lack of vendor support.
What are Microsoft's Extended Security Updates (ESUs)?
Extended Security Updates (ESUs) are a paid program that provides critical security patches for Windows 10 after its end-of-support date on October 14, 2025. ESUs do not include new features, performance improvements, or regular bug fixes—they are purely a temporary solution to extend security while transitioning to Windows 11. ESUs are available on an annual subscription basis for up to three years and are priced per device. Schools receive special discounted pricing, and organizations using Windows 365 or Azure Virtual Desktop may qualify for free ESUs.
Do I need to purchase a Microsoft Copilot License?
Copilot with commercial data protection is available at no additional cost for users with an Entra ID and an enabled, eligible Microsoft 365 license.
How can we check if our devices are Windows 11 compatible?
Microsoft’s PC Health Check App quickly determines whether a device meets Windows 11’s hardware requirements. Organizations should also conduct a hardware inventory to assess upgrade needs.
What if our current hardware doesn't support Windows 11?
You have two main options:
- Replace older devices with Windows 11-compatible hardware.
- Use Microsoft’s ESU program to extend security updates while planning an upgrade.
Are there discounts for schools purchasing new Windows 11 devices?
Yes, Microsoft and hardware vendors offer education-specific discounts on Windows 11 devices with enhanced security, battery life, and accessibility features for students and educators.
