💻🔐 A Public Service Announcement for Your Computers
Hi Coastal Community,
For those of you still using a Windows 10 computer, this is an important reminder.
Windows 10 reached the end of Microsoft’s standard support on 14 October 2025.
While your computer will continue to work, Microsoft no longer provides regular security updates or technical support for Windows 10. This means that continuing to use an unsupported computer can leave you more exposed to security risks.
Microsoft does offer Extended Security Updates (ESU) for eligible devices, but this is only a temporary solution rather than a long-term replacement for an unsupported operating system.
If your computer is still running Windows 10, now is a good time to consider your options.
What are your options?
There are two main pathways to consider:
- Upgrade to Windows 11 if your existing computer meets the requirements.
- Move to a Mac if you’re ready to consider a different platform.
It’s also worth remembering that not every older computer will be suitable for Windows 11. Sometimes upgrading the computer is the better option, rather than trying to keep an ageing machine going.
Don’t wait until your computer becomes a problem. Planning ahead gives you time to choose the right computer, move your files, set everything up properly and make sure your important data is backed up.
If you’re unsure what your computer is capable of, or you’d like some independent advice before spending money on an upgrade, RD3 Tech can help.
If you want a consultation about your family’s IT needs, please contact RD3 Tech and we can help you work out the best option for your household.
If you need any advice, give me a call or email.
Thanks for your continued support!
