Windows 10 Is Reaching Its End — Is Your Practice Ready?
If you’re still running Windows 10 on your computers, it’s time to start thinking about what comes next. Microsoft has set October 14, 2025, as the date when they’ll stop providing updates for Windows 10. After that, your systems won’t get any more security patches or improvements, which could leave your practice vulnerable.
Why Keeping an Outdated Operating System Is Risky
When support ends for Windows 10, it’s more than just missing out on the latest features. Here’s what could happen if you stick with an outdated operating system:
1. Cybersecurity Threats
Without security updates, your systems could be an easy target for hackers. The healthcare industry is already a prime target because of the sensitive data it holds, so this risk is something you don’t want to take lightly.
2. Regulatory Compliance
Staying compliant with regulations is critical in healthcare. Running an unsupported OS could put you at risk of non-compliance, which might lead to fines or other serious consequences.
3. Software Compatibility
As new software comes out, it’s designed to work with the latest operating systems. Sticking with an outdated OS could mean your critical applications start having issues or stop working altogether.
4. Slow Performance
Over time, older systems can slow down, which means your staff might find it harder to work efficiently. In a busy healthcare environment, this is more than just an inconvenience—it can impact patient care.
