Windows 10 Is Nearing End of Life — What It Means for You

As of October 14, 2025, Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10. That means no more security updates, bug fixes, or feature improvements. But don’t panic — you’ve still got options, and NZ Laptop Wholesale is here to help you make the transition smoothly (or stick with Windows 10, if that’s right for you).

🧯 What Does “End of Support” Actually Mean?

When Microsoft ends support for a version of Windows, the operating system doesn’t suddenly stop working — but:

  • You’ll stop receiving security patches

  • Software compatibility may gradually decline

  • Some third-party apps and drivers may no longer support it

In short, Windows 10 won’t be unsafe immediately — but it will slowly become more vulnerable over time.

🛒 Are We Still Selling Windows 10 Laptops?

Yes — for now, at reduced prices.
We know many people are still comfortable with Windows 10 — especially for:

  • School or office environments with consistent workflows

  • Older software compatibility

  • Users who prefer the Windows 10 interface

We still test and support these devices, and all Windows 10 laptops come fully updated and ready to go.

💡 You can always upgrade to Windows 11 later — most of our machines are compatible.

🚀 Want Windows 11 Instead?

If you’re after something newer or plan to keep your device long-term, we also stock a large range of Windows 11 refurbished laptops and desktops — preinstalled, licensed, and tested.

Benefits of Windows 11:

  • Ongoing updates into the 2030s

  • Enhanced security and performance

  • Sleeker interface with improved multitasking

  • Great support for hybrid work and cloud tools

🔄 Can You Upgrade from Windows 10 to 11?

In many cases, yes — for free.
Most of our Intel 8th Gen+ laptops and desktops meet the hardware requirements for Windows 11. We’re happy to:

  • Check compatibility for you

  • Pre-install Windows 11 on any compatible device

  • Offer upgrade advice if you already own a Windows 10 system

✅ Final Thoughts

Windows 10 isn’t disappearing overnight — but now’s the time to plan.
At NZ Laptop Wholesale, we’re offering:

  • Great value on Windows 10 machines while stock lasts

  • A wide range of Windows 11-ready devices

  • Friendly support to help you choose what’s right for your needs
