Update: this post was written ahead of the October 14, 2025 end-of-support date, which has now passed. If you are still running Windows 10, we can help you plan a safe upgrade.

What end of support means

Windows 10 support ended on October 14, 2025. That means no more security updates, no more patches, and no more protection from new threats.

For small offices and clinics in Ottawa, running a business on unsupported software is not just a risk. It is a direct threat to operational security and entrusted client data.

What it means for your business

  • Higher chance of ransomware or data breaches.
  • Possible compliance and cyber-insurance issues.
  • Costly downtime if a system fails.

Upgrading to Windows 11

Upgrades can be planned to minimize disruption to your practice, including evenings and weekends. A Windows 11 upgrade is also a good moment for a health check of the whole network, so you walk away with updated PCs and a checklist showing what is healthy and what needs attention.

Original offer, October 2025. When this post was first published, we were offering a limited number of Windows 11 upgrade slots, with evenings and weekends at no extra cost and a complimentary IT Health Check included. Get in touch to ask what is available now.
