Come October 2025, Microsoft will officially retire Windows 10. That means no more updates, no more patches—and a tidal wave of IT urgency for organizations that haven’t fully embraced Windows 11.
If your enterprise depends on a sprawling portfolio of applications, readiness isn’t optional. It’s mission critical.
Navigating end of life and end of service (EOL/EOS) with clear IT visibility, strategy and sustainability
Widely used software like Windows 10 poses serious risks to enterprise environments, including exposure to security vulnerabilities and compliance gaps. You have to proactively respond by upgrading to supported versions, considering alternative operating systems where necessary and implementing enhanced security protocols. These transitions require clear IT visibility into which assets are affected and how to prioritize remediation. EOL/EOS events also influence IT strategy, budgeting and vendor relationships, making lifecycle awareness a critical component of operational planning.
Flexera helps enterprises tackle EOL/EOS challenges through robust IT visibility. Automated discovery and lifecycle tracking ensure accurate inventories and timely alerts, while risk and compliance tools mitigate exposure from unsupported assets.
Flexera empowers strategic planning by aligning lifecycle data with business and operational goals, turning obsolescence into an opportunity for optimization. With Flexera, organizations can maintain a secure, compliant and efficient IT environment while navigating the complexities of product lifecycles.
