Windows 10 has officially reached end of life. That means until your dealership upgrades to Windows 11, Microsoft can’t provide you with any security updates or support. It also means that as long as your dealership remains on Windows 10, every click, login, and download may leave the door wide open for trouble. 

What happens if you don't upgrade?

Cybercriminals  love outdated systems. Why? Because without regular updates or patches, they’re like sitting ducks. Here’s what staying on Windows 10 really means: 
  • Security Vulnerabilities: 
    Without regular security updates, Windows 10 users will quickly become an easy target for hackers and malware. 
  • Compliance Risks: 
    Industry regulations require the use of supported, secure operating systems. Remaining on Windows 10 increases your chance of falling out of compliance.
  • Software Incompatibility: 
    Many applications may no longer receive updates or support on Windows 10. This can significantly limit your access to the latest tools.
  • Rising IT Costs: 
    Maintaining and securing your outdated systems will likely require spending more time, more resources, and more money. 

What makes Windows 11 better?

Windows 11 was created for today’s world. A world that demands stronger defenses and faster performance. Here’s how Microsoft evolved from Windows 10: 
  • Enhanced Security: 
    Windows 11 provides advanced security features like hardware-based isolation, zero trust security, and stronger encryption.
  • Improved Performance: 
    Optimized for modern hardware, Windows 11 offers faster speeds and better efficiency to help maximize your team’s potential.
  • Ongoing Support: 
    By upgrading, you’ll continue receiving critical updates, bug fixes, and security patches directly from Microsoft. 
  • Modern Features: 
    Take advantage of new productivity tools, improved multi-tasking features, and an updated user interface designed for today’s fast-paced workplace.
Upgrading isn’t just about keeping up. It’s about staying protected, productive, and ready for whatever comes next. The end of Windows 10 isn’t the end of the world, but it does mark a turning point. And the longer you wait, the more those unseen risks accumulate.
