How to enable Windows 10 ESU (consumers only!)
This guide demonstrates how to enable Microsoft’s free Extended Security Updates (ESU) for Windows 10.
End of Support
The October 2025 End-of-Support Business Dilemma: Upgrade, ESU, or alternative options?
Just two weeks left until yet another one of Microsoft’s EOS milestones. If your organization keeps running any given software after EOS, you need a mitigation path to ensure potential vulnerabilities remain addressed.
The end of support for Office 2016 and 2019 is almost here – how to proceed next?
A number of Microsoft products will reach their end of support (EOS) on October 14, 2025. Among them are the still widely used Office 2019 and Office 2016 – what does this mean for your business?
SQL Server 2014 support end draws near. What to upgrade to next?
Microsoft’s SQL Server 2014 will reach the end of its extended support on July 9th this year – only a couple of months away. If your organization is still using it, it’s high time to think about how this will affect your IT infrastructure. While an upgrade is not strictly necessary, as the software will continue functioning even past the support end date, it will no longer receive patches and security updates, and would eventually become obsolete and incompatible with modern software and hardware requirements.
Exchange Server 2013 and SharePoint Server 2013 support has ended – what are your options now?
On 11 April 2023 Microsoft officially ended support for Exchange Server 2013 and SharePoint 2013. This means there will be no more security updates, bug fixes, or technical support from Microsoft. Although both software applications will remain fully functional, won’t be deactivated, and still can be used for daily work, further continuing to use these platforms can pose security risks and reduce productivity and compatibility with newer software.
Microsoft support for Office 2013 is ending soon. Which suite move to next?
Microsoft Office 2013’s lifecycle is about to end – the extended support will be available up to 11th April, 2023. After that, the popular Office suite will still function but Microsoft will no longer provide bug fixes and security patches. What then?
Still using Windows 8.1? Time to move to a newer OS!
Windows 8.1 users have likely gotten a reminder earlier this year by the operating system itself that its technical support will end on January 10th 2023. How to proceed next?
The end of Windows Server 2012 support is near. Time to plan an upgrade!
According to Microsoft’s product lifecycle policy, both Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 will be supported only up to October 10th 2023. Read on to learn what actions to take next.
