    Support ended 14 October 2025

    Still on Windows 10? You stopped getting security updates a year ago.

    We work out which of your machines can simply be upgraded, replace only the ones that genuinely can’t with tested refurbished business laptops, move everything across, and dispose of the old hardware properly.

    You may not need to replace everything

    Plenty of machines sold from 2018 onward meet the Windows 11 requirements and can be upgraded at no hardware cost. The audit tells you which — we would rather upgrade ten and replace three than sell you thirteen laptops.

    Why it matters

    What running an unsupported OS actually costs you

    Microsoft's consumer Extended Security Updates bridge ends 13 October 2026. Commercial ESU can be bought for longer, but it is a paid stay of execution rather than a fix.

    No security patches

    Since 14 October 2025, vulnerabilities found in Windows 10 are not fixed. They are still published — so they are known to attackers and unpatched on your machines.

    Compliance exposure

    If you hold patient or client data, running an unsupported operating system is hard to defend. HIPAA asks you to protect against malicious software; an OS nobody patches works against that.

    Software starts dropping support

    Practice management systems, browsers and security tools follow Microsoft. Vendors stop testing against an unsupported OS, and eventually stop installing on it.

    Insurance questions

    Cyber policies increasingly ask whether your systems are supported and patched. Answering honestly can affect a renewal, or a claim.

    How it works

    Four steps, in plain order

    1. 1

      We inventory what you have

      Which machines run Windows 10, which can take Windows 11, and which cannot. Usually fewer need replacing than people expect.

    2. 2

      Upgrade what qualifies

      Machines meeting the Windows 11 requirements get upgraded in place. No hardware cost, no migration.

    3. 3

      Replace what does not

      Tested refurbished business laptops — the same machines we sell wholesale — configured, migrated and delivered. A fraction of new, with a warranty.

    4. 4

      Dispose of the old ones properly

      Drives wiped to standard with a certificate, hardware recycled. Not left in a cupboard holding readable data.

    Why refurbished

    The same machines we sell wholesale

    We already grade, test and sell refurbished business laptops by the pallet. Replacing an office at that cost, with machines we have tested ourselves, is the part of this we can do more cheaply than anyone quoting you new hardware.

    Business-grade machines, graded and tested before they ship

    Configured and migrated before delivery, not after

    Covered by warranty

    Old drives wiped to standard, with a certificate

    What happens to the old machines

    Drives are wiped to a documented standard and you get a certificate for your records. Working hardware is refurbished and resold; the rest is recycled. Nothing with readable data leaves in a box to be dealt with later.

    Find out what you actually need to replace

    A short call and we’ll tell you which machines can be upgraded, which should be replaced, and what it would cost.
