Managing End-of-Life Systems Strategically: Prepare for Windows 10 and Beyond

You Don’t Want to Hear This…

But your end-of-life systems are a ticking time bomb. With Windows 10 support ending in October 2025, millions of organizations are sitting on a cybersecurity powder keg. End-of-life systems don’t just stop working—they become entry points for attackers, compliance nightmares, and budget disasters waiting to happen.

The WannaCry ransomware attack that crippled hospitals, railways, and businesses worldwide? It specifically targeted end-of-life Windows systems. Today, your Windows 10 machines are approaching that same vulnerable state, and the clock is ticking louder than most IT leaders realize.

Watch our expert panel to discover how to identify EOL risks in your environment, choose an effective migration path, and transform what feels like an overwhelming deadline into an opportunity for strategic transformation.

What You’ll Get From this Session:

• Identify End-of-Life Risks: Learn systematic approaches to audit your systems and discover EOL vulnerabilities that may be hiding. Plus, understand security and compliance implications. 
• Understand Your Windows 10 Migration Options: Get clarity on the different paths available for Windows 10 EOL, from direct upgrades to hardware refresh strategies, and how to plan your timeline effectively.
• Develop Risk-Based Decision Making: Discover the key criteria for deciding when to replace versus secure end-of-life systems and how to evaluate business impact against security risks.
• Contingency Planning: Learn specific compensating controls and security measures you can apply to EOL systems that can’t be immediately replaced due to budget or operational constraints.
