Get Ready for the Windows 10 End of Life

Support Your Customers with a Seamless Windows 11 Transition

The Windows 10 end of life is fast approaching! On 14 October 2025, Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10, meaning no more security updates, bug fixes or technical assistance.

For MSPs and IT resellers, this is more than just a deadline — it's a vital opportunity to help customers transition to Windows 11 while future-proofing your business.

At Intec, we’re here to support you every step of the way — from sourcing Windows 11-ready stock to providing the marketing materials you need to educate your end users. Now’s the time to prepare.

 

Why the Windows 10 Transition Matters

With Windows 10 reaching end of support, any devices not transitioned to Windows 11 beyond the deadline will be at risk to security threats and potentially even compliance risks. Windows 11 is, according to Microsoft, designed to meet the evolving needs of modern work environments — with performance, security, and efficiency built in by default.

 

By preparing early, you can:

  • Avoid last-minute hardware shortages

  • Minimise security risks for your customers

  • Position your business as a trusted technology partner

  • Maximise revenue opportunities ahead of the transition

 

What Makes Windows 11 a Smarter, Safer Choice?

Windows 11 isn’t just a new operating system — it’s a platform designed for today’s digital demands according to Microsoft. Need some help prompting your customers on why they should upgrade now? Try these key facts:

Enhanced Security by Design

Windows 11 includes a variety of protection measures like TPM 2.0, virtualisation-based security, Smart App Control, and hardware-level protection using Microsoft’s smart new Pluton Security Processor. New Copilot+ PCs even go further with built-in AI tools and Secured-core PC features.

Brought Up To Date, But Feels Familiar

Windows 11 still keeps the layout of Windows 10 but introduces a cleaner, more intuitive interface. The Start menu, Snap Layouts, and Multiple Desktops have all been given a refresh to support better multitasking without the steep learning curve associated with learning a new OS.

Faster Performance & Efficiency

Optimised wake speeds, improved battery life, and faster browsing mean users can work smarter. Copilot+ PCs are up to five times faster than five-year-old Windows 10 devices, thanks to AI-powered performance boosts.

Built-In Accessibility

Windows 11 has been designed to be a super accessible OS, with inclusive features like contrast themes, customisable closed captions, and better support for assistive technologies.

Energy Efficient & Carbon Aware

With built-in energy-saving settings and environmentally conscious update scheduling, Windows 11 supports sustainability as well as performance.

 

Let’s Help You to Help Your Customers Migrate from Windows 10

Many end users won’t have a clue how to begin their upgrades. As their IT provider, you can guide them through the following steps:

  1. Check Upgrade Eligibility

Determine if their existing hardware supports Windows 11. Many older devices may not meet the system requirements.

  1. Evaluate Device Readiness

If upgrades aren’t possible, recommend a new device from our broad portfolio of Windows 11-ready laptops and desktops.

  1. Backup & Transfer

Tools like Windows Backup and OneDrive make it easy to move personal files, settings, and apps to a new PC with minimal downtime.

  1. Advise on Extended Security Updates

For customers who need more time, Microsoft offers a paid Extended Security Update (ESU) programme, including a new consumer tier. This buys some flexibility but doesn’t replace the need to upgrade.
