Windows 10 Has Reached End of Support…Expect More Downtime 

If Your Hotel Lobby Went Dark… 

Imagine if your hotel’s lobby lost power during check-in, or if your restaurant’s POS system went offline mid-service. Every minute of downtime means frustrated customers, lost revenue, and reputational damage. 

Running Windows 10 now puts your business in the same position. Microsoft has officially ended support. That means no more security patches, no vendor assistance, no bug fixes. Your systems might still run, but they’re vulnerable and unsustainable. 

The Business Impact 

When Windows 7 reached end of life, businesses that waited were hit hard by attacks like WannaCry ransomware. Today, the problem is even bigger: 

• Nearly 500 million devices are still on Windows 10. 
• Over 240 million cannot upgrade without hardware changes. 

Unsupported systems are open targets. For industries like hospitality, finance, and media, downtime or breaches are operational crises.
