Windows 10 Support Ends October 14, 2025 — Local IT Firm Urges Northeast Ohio to Upgrade Now
Cleveland, OH — 09/16/2025 — Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, leaving millions of computers without security updates. WeldonPC, a Garfield Heights–based IT services firm, is warning both businesses and families across Northeast Ohio to act now before it’s too late.
“When support ends, the computer doesn’t just stop working — it stops being safe,” said Weldon Hastings, owner of WeldonPC. “From PCI compliance in retail, to HIPAA in healthcare, to attorney confidentiality and ISO standards, every industry is affected. Even home users risk losing their photos, finances, and privacy.”
Why It Matters
- Businesses: PCI standards demand secure systems to protect customer credit card data.
- Healthcare Providers: HIPAA compliance requires updated, secure environments for patient records.
- Attorneys & Legal Practices: Confidential client files and court communications require up-to-date protections.
- International Operations: ISO frameworks emphasize patch management and supported infrastructure.
- Families: Without updates, everyday users are at greater risk of viruses, data theft, and system crashes.
The Safer Landing: Windows 11
WeldonPC recommends in-store upgrades to prevent unnecessary downtime. Most upgrades take 1–3 business days, ensuring files, apps, and compliance needs are protected.
Beyond upgrades, WeldonPC.com also offers Managed IT Services and full website development/hosting solutions for businesses and organizations across the region.
