Is your business still running Windows 10? You’re not alone—60% of local companies in Wirral, Liverpool & Chester haven’t upgraded yet. But when Microsoft stops security updates on October 14, 2025, unsupported PCs become open doors for hackers, compliance headaches and unexpected costs.

Why Every Business Owner Should Pay Attention

Surprise Expenses: Emergency fixes, downtime and help-desk calls often cost 5–10× more than a planned upgrade. Small investments now can prevent big bills later.

Hidden Dangers: Outdated Windows 10 machines are magnets for ransomware and data breaches. One attack can freeze your operations and cost £10K+ in recovery.

Compliance Risks: If you handle customer data, running unsupported software could fail audits and land you with fines—just when your reputation matters most.
