Your Business and the Windows 10 Switch-Off

On the same day as International E-Waste Day, Microsoft will stop providing free security updates, patches, and technical support for Windows 10.

After this date, Windows 10 systems will no longer receive critical updates.

Your devices will still work; but without updates that protect users against emerging vulnerabilities, they’ll become easy targets for hackers and data thieves:

• Data Security: Unpatched systems are easy targets for cyberattacks, increasing the risk of sensitive data breaches and information theft.
• Compliance risks: Devices may no longer meet industry regulations or insurance requirements
• Disruptions: outdated systems can crash or be incompatible with newer software

​Around 240 million Windows 10 may become waste due to Windows 11 upgrades. Don’t let yours be among that number. Donate them for reuse or responsible recycling today.

Why donate your Windows 10 devices to Tech-Takeback?

• Safe & Secure: Certified data wiping and audit trails keep your organisation’s information protected.
• Sustainable Choice: Refurbishing laptops cuts down on e-waste and supports the circular economy.
• Support Communities: Donated devices help bridge the digital divide and boost local opportunities.
• Smart & Cost-Effective: Lower disposal costs while showing your commitment to social responsibility and sustainability
