Brits clinging to Windows 10 face heightened risk, says NCSC | Computer Weekly

▤ Summary

The UK’s NCSC warns organisations that still run Windows 10 to upgrade now or face rising cyber risk as support ends on 14 October 2025. It says many businesses still rely on the older OS, but delayed migration will leave systems without security patches or Microsoft support. The guidance highlights Windows 11’s stronger built-in security controls, including BitLocker, Virtualisation-Based Security, Secure Launch, passkey management, and improved Windows Hello. It also notes that organisations can buy a 12-month Extended Security Update if they need more time before moving to Windows 11 or Copilot+ hardware.
