03 Feb Essential IT Updates for 2025
A new year brings new opportunities—and new challenges in the world of IT. As technology evolves, staying ahead of key updates is essential to keeping your business secure and efficient.
One major change on the horizon? Microsoft is retiring Windows 10 on 14 October 2025. If your business still relies on Windows 10, now is the time to start planning your next steps to ensure a smooth and secure transition.
What Happens When Windows 10 Support Ends?
What Are Your Options?
To stay protected, you have two main choices:
🔹 Upgrade to a new PC with Windows 11 pre-installed – The best option for long-term performance and security.
🔹 Install Windows 11 on your existing PC – If your hardware meets the requirements, you may be able to upgrade without replacing your device.

Key Tech Priorities for 2025
Technology moves fast, and beyond Windows 10 reaching end-of-life, there are several other crucial areas businesses should focus on this year. Here’s what’s on our radar for 2025:
🔐 Strengthen Your Cybersecurity Defences
Cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated, leveraging AI to launch highly targeted phishing scams and ransomware attacks. In 2025, cyber resilience is no longer optional—it’s essential.
✅ Cyber Awareness Training – Your staff are your first line of defence. Investing in regular training can help prevent costly security breaches.
✅ Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) – Strengthen access security by requiring an extra verification step beyond passwords.
✅ Advanced Threat Protection – Tools like Microsoft Defender for Office 365 can proactively detect and neutralise cyber threats before they reach your inbox.
