Windows 10 End of Life is officially happening on October 14, 2025. After this date, Microsoft will stop releasing updates, patches, and technical support for any device still running the operating system. For businesses across Atlanta, the urgency to plan and act cannot be overstated.
Older hardware—especially devices purchased before 2018—may not qualify for Windows 11 upgrades. This isn’t just a software inconvenience. It’s a growing business risk with real consequences for security, compliance, and operational continuity.

At Centerpoint IT, we help businesses in Atlanta navigate this transition with confidence. Our team delivers proactive planning, seamless hardware upgrades, and continued support to protect your operations and keep your technology aligned with your goals.
If your Atlanta business continues running Windows 10 after the end-of-life date, you could face:
Without security updates, your systems fall out of alignment with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and other regulations, exposing your business to fines, failed audits, and legal consequences. Staying on unsupported software can also put your cybersecurity insurance coverage at risk.
Unsupported devices become easy entry points for ransomware and cyberattacks, leaving your data and network wide open to threats. Even one compromised system can lead to widespread damage and expensive recovery efforts.
As demand surges before the deadline, prices will spike and availability will drop, making last-minute replacements more expensive and harder to find. Early planning allows you to secure the right equipment at a reasonable cost.
Critical business tools may no longer be supported or function properly on Windows 10, causing disruptions to workflows and daily operations. Over time, compatibility gaps will increase as vendors focus exclusively on Windows 11 support.
Outdated systems are slower, less reliable, and more prone to crashes, hurting employee efficiency and increasing IT headaches. Frequent interruptions lead to wasted time and mounting frustration for your team.
Waiting too long can also mean higher costs, limited availability of compatible devices, and lost time as your team scrambles to adapt. The businesses that act now will avoid these pitfalls and gain a competitive edge.
Centerpoint IT has helped dozens of Atlanta-based businesses manage large-scale Windows upgrades with zero disruption. We deliver a tested, streamlined approach designed to prevent chaos, keep your team productive, and align your IT with business strategy.
Here’s how we handle your upgrade:
step1
We assess your entire device inventory to identify which machines meet Windows 11 requirements and which ones need replacement. This gives you a clear, detailed view of where you stand and what action is needed.
step2
We design a tailored rollout plan based on your team size, operating schedule, budget, and compliance needs. Our phased approach ensures minimal disruption while keeping your business on track.

We help you source the right equipment and licenses before pricing and supply become volatile. By acting early, you avoid inflated costs and ensure your technology investments are aligned with long-term goals.
step4
