Windows 11 Upgrade & End of Windows 10 Support: What Ocala Users Need to Do Now

Still using Windows 10? Microsoft ended support on October 14, 2025. That means no more security updates. The safest move is upgrading to Windows 11 as soon as possible.
Why the Windows 10 End of Support Matters
When an operating system reaches end of support, it stops receiving critical security patches. Without those updates, even careful users can be exposed to new malware, phishing, and ransomware. In addition, software vendors gradually drop compatibility with older systems, which leads to driver problems, printer issues, and broken apps.
Microsoft’s lifecycle policy confirms that Windows 10 security updates have ended. You can read more in Microsoft’s official documentation here: Product Lifecycle.

FAQ: Windows 10 End of Support & Windows 11 Upgrades
Do I have to upgrade right now?
If your PC is online and used for email, banking, or business, yes—running an unsupported OS increases risk. We can prioritize your upgrade or add interim protections until your appointment. Will I lose my files or programs?
Our process includes a backup of key folders and, when possible, an in-place upgrade to keep your apps. If a clean install is better, we’ll move your data back and reinstall essentials. How long does it take?
Most upgrades take 2–4 hours depending on hardware and update speed. We offer same-day and next-day service windows. What if my PC can’t run Windows 11?
We’ll review safe options, which may include hardware upgrades, a supported alternative path, or a new-PC migration plan.
