Windows 10 Support Ends in Two Weeks

It's the eleventh hour...what's your plan?

Windows 10 Flatline

There’s a quiet kind of vulnerability that creeps in when systems you’ve relied on for years begin to lose their safety net.

In two weeks, Microsoft will end free support for Windows 10. No more security patches. No more bug fixes. No more help if something breaks.

It’s not just an IT update, it’s a signal that your firm’s daily operations, client data, and compliance posture are all about to stand on shakier ground.

If your team is still using Windows 10, you need to know what’s at stake.

Every unpatched device becomes an open window for cybercriminals. And with phishing attacks, ransomware, and data breaches on the rise, this isn’t a hypothetical risk—it’s a current one. Imagine preparing for a deposition and realizing your systems have been compromised overnight, simply because no one updated an operating system in time.

Yes, Microsoft will offer Extended Security Updates (ESUs), but they’re costly, temporary, and don’t include any of the performance or productivity upgrades law firms now rely on.

The right move is to shift to Windows 11. It’s faster, more secure, and designed to support the hybrid, cloud-integrated work style that firms have adopted post-2020. But there’s a catch—many older machines won’t support the upgrade. That means this isn’t just a software issue. It’s a hardware planning issue too.

The clock is ticking, and the transition won’t happen overnight. You need to know which machines can be upgraded, what needs replacing, and how to make the move with minimal disruption to billable work.

That’s where we come in.

We help Los Angeles law firms make this transition smoothly – reviewing your current environment, creating a realistic upgrade plan, and executing it without interrupting your practice. Whether you’re in a single suite in Century City or managing a hybrid team across multiple locations, we’ll make sure your firm doesn’t just stay afloat—it stays protected.

Don’t wait until a security breach or compliance failure forces your hand.

Let’s talk now, while we still have time to do this on your terms.
