If you run a small business in Kagiso, Krugersdorp or Randfontein and your computers
are still on Windows 10, you have probably seen the pop-ups. Microsoft ended standard
support on 14 October 2025, and we get asked about it every week at our Kagiso 2
workshop.

## Will my computer stop working?

No, not overnight. But you will stop getting critical security updates. That means
new threats can slip through — especially if you do banking, email or client work
on that machine.

## Your three options

 * **Check if your PC can upgrade to Windows 11** — we can check compatibility for
   you, in plain language.
 * **Upgrade the hardware** — a RAM or SSD upgrade sometimes makes an older machine
   eligible and much faster.
 * **Move to a refurbished device** — if the machine is too old, an A-grade refurbished
   laptop may cost less than a new one and come with licensed software and a warranty.

We only install properly licensed operating systems — no cracked copies — and every
repair comes with a 30-day warranty.
