As the countdown to October 2025 begins, businesses and government organisations relying on Windows 10 face a critical challenge. Microsoft will no longer provide support or security updates for Windows 10, leaving connected devices vulnerable to cyber threats, data breaches, and compliance issues.
The Risks of Outdated Devices
When unsecured or outdated devices remain active on your network, they can become an open door for cyberattacks. Without regular security updates:
- Devices become easy targets for malware and ransomware.
- Sensitive company data is at risk of being exposed or stolen.
- Regulatory compliance could be jeopardised, leading to potential legal and financial penalties.
The Hidden Costs of Waiting
Delaying your fleet upgrade doesn’t just increase your exposure to security risks—it also impacts your return on investment (ROI). Older Windows 10 devices will continue to lose value the closer we get to the October 2025 deadline.
At ACT Logistics, we offer IT Asset BuyBacks, providing your organisation with the opportunity to recover value from retired IT assets. By acting now, you can:
- Maximise the resale value of your outdated Windows 10 devices.
- Free up capital to reinvest in new hardware.
- Avoid the rush and potential backlog closer to the deadline.
