On October 14, 2025, Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10. After this date, no more security updates, bug fixes, or technical support will be available. While Windows 10 IoT Enterprise editions will continue to be supported for several more years, standard Windows 10 users in healthcare face an urgent question: what comes next?
For hospitals, clinics, and aged care facilities, the risks of inaction are clear:
- Unpatched security vulnerabilities expose networks to ransomware and cyberattacks.
- Compliance issues arise under HIPAA, GDPR, and other data protection laws.
- Compatibility gaps with new healthcare software and devices disrupt workflows.
- Rising costs mount when trying to patch or protect outdated systems.
Simply put: running unsupported systems compromises not only IT infrastructure but also patient safety and quality of care.
Why Upgrading to Windows 11 Isn’t Enough
Moving to Windows 11 is essential, but software alone won’t solve every challenge. Many existing devices in clinical environments were never designed to meet today’s infection control standards, mobility needs, or digital health demands. That’s where presicion-engineered medical-grade computing makes all the difference.
The Case for Medical-Grade All-in-One PCs
Unlike standard desktops, medical all-in-ones are engineered specifically for clinical use. Upgrading your hardware at the same time as your operating system unlocks long-term value and future-proof performance:
- Antimicrobial enclosures reduce pathogen transmission in high-touch environments.
- Fanless, sealed designs prevent dust and contaminants from entering the device and recirculating.
- Hot-swappable batteries support continuous use in mobile workstations.
- Certified durability extends device lifespan and reduces replacement cycles.
- Seamless integration with barcode scanners, smart card readers, EMR systems, and other healthcare peripherals.
Our latest 14th Gen medical computers are fully Windows 11-ready, delivering reliability, speed, and simplified IT management, keeping clinicians focused on patients, not technology.
Time to Act
With the Windows 10 end-of-life deadline approaching, now is the time to:
- Audit your hardware fleet for aging or non-compliant systems.
- Plan your Windows 11 migration to avoid costly last-minute upgrades.
- Invest in medical-grade PCs that deliver both infection control and future-ready performance.
Microsoft will offer Extended Security Updates (ESU) until 2026—but that’s only a temporary, costly fix. Upgrading now ensures long-term compliance, security, and efficiency without bottlenecks.
Upgrade with Confidence
Our medical all-in-ones combine 14th Gen Intel® Core™ processing power with rugged reliability, antimicrobial protection, and seamless healthcare integration. Designed for hospitals, clinics, and care facilities, they are built to deliver secure, efficient, and uninterrupted patient care well beyond 2025.
Stay ahead of the change. Protect your patients, your data, and your team.
