Still running Windows 10 in your insurance agency?
Here’s the hard truth:
Microsoft will end official support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025.
That means no more:
- Security patches
- Bug fixes
- Tech support
But the real danger isn’t what happens next year—it’s what waiting will cost you right now.
“We’ll Deal With It Later” Could Be the Most Expensive IT Decision You Make
We get it—upgrading every device in your agency doesn’t sound like a fun use of your budget. But delaying your Windows 10 upgrade could cost more than you realize.
Here’s what’s at stake for Salt Lake City insurance firms still using outdated operating systems:
- Your Client Data Is At Risk Without Security Updates
Once Microsoft pulls the plug, Windows 10 becomes an open door for cybercriminals. Every day past October 2025, your machines become less secure.
🔓 If your agency handles sensitive client records, policy data, or financials (and you do), this is a major liability.
A single breach could cost thousands—and destroy the trust you’ve spent years building.
- Software Incompatibility = Client Service Disruptions
CRMs, AMS platforms, e-signature tools, accounting software—many of the apps you rely on are already phasing out Windows 10 support.
That means:
- Glitches during client calls
- Lost or unsaved data
- Tools that stop syncing or fail to launch
- Even your printer or scanner might stop working
In insurance, even small disruptions hurt your ability to close policies, serve clients, and stay competitive.
- Old Systems Drain Your Team’s Productivity
When computers run slow, everyone suffers. System crashes, frozen screens, and laggy logins don’t just frustrate your staff—they cost you money.
⏳ Just 10 minutes lost per employee, per day? That’s dozens of hours of productivity every month—gone.
And if your agency is already running lean, you can’t afford that kind of drag.
- Emergency Upgrades = High Stress and Higher Costs
If you wait until something breaks:
- You’ll pay more for rushed hardware
- Your internal IT or MSP will rack up overtime
- Your agency could go offline while systems are replaced
Reactive upgrades are always more expensive than planned transitions.
- You Risk Compliance Violations
This one’s non-negotiable. If your agency handles regulated data—think HIPAA, SOC 2, CMMC—Windows 10 won’t cut it once support ends.
That means:
- Failed audits
- Fines
- Legal exposure
- Lost business
Don’t let an unsupported OS drag your agency out of compliance.
