Still running Windows 10 on your office or remote systems?
Here’s the hard truth:
Microsoft will end all support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025.
That means:
- ❌ No more security updates
- ❌ No bug fixes
- ❌ No technical support
And if you’re managing properties in Salt Lake City, the risk of waiting could be far more expensive than just a few old machines.
“We’ll Deal With It Later” Could Be the Most Expensive Line in Your IT Budget
We get it. Replacing or upgrading every computer across your leasing offices and maintenance teams feels like a headache. But putting it off?
That’s how downtime, compliance fines, and cyber breaches sneak in the door.
Here’s what property management teams across the Wasatch Front are risking by delaying their Windows 10 upgrade:
- You’re Operating Without a Security Net
Once Microsoft stops patching Windows 10, your systems become wide open to attacks.
And let’s face it: property management firms are prime targets for hackers—because you handle:
- Tenant financial data
- Background check reports
- Digital lease agreements
- Vendor payment credentials
Just one breach can cost thousands—or irreparably damage your reputation with tenants and building owners.
- Critical Software May Stop Working
Yardi. AppFolio. Buildium. Your whole operation runs on software that’s rapidly moving on from Windows 10.
Waiting could mean:
- Crashes mid-rent roll update
- Broken integrations with your VoIP system
- Failed remote access for your field teams
- Even printer or scanner outages at key offices
Compatibility issues don’t wait for 2025—they’re already showing up.
- Productivity Slows to a Crawl
Outdated systems don’t just lag—they burn time.
If each team member wastes just 10 minutes a day fighting slow load times or glitches, that adds up to hours of lost productivity every month. Multiply that by 10–20 employees across Salt Lake offices, and you're losing real revenue.
- Emergency Upgrades = Expensive Chaos
Here’s what a last-minute upgrade looks like:
- Rushed laptop purchases at premium prices
- Surprise IT labor costs
- Downtime during peak leasing season
- Panicked calls to your vendor mid-move-in
Planning ahead saves stress—and dollars.
- You Could Fall Out of Compliance
Handling sensitive data? If you’re in real estate, you’re subject to:
- CCPA and data privacy laws
- Financial compliance
- Industry-standard audit practices
Unsupported systems like Windows 10 won’t pass inspection once support ends. And that puts your business at risk of fines, lawsuits, and failed audits.
