Thousands of Surrey and Langley businesses are running out of time. Raxxos Technology is stepping in with a local upgrade service to help them avoid security threats, compliance failures, and costly downtime when Windows 10 support ends this October.
SURREY, BC, June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Microsoft is officially ending support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. Raxxos Technology Inc., a Managed IT Services provider based in Surrey, BC has launched a new upgrade initiative to help small and mid-sized businesses in Surrey, Langley, and the Lower Mainland transition smoothly to Windows 11.
After October, Windows 10 devices will stop receiving critical security updates - leaving businesses vulnerable to cyberattacks and out of compliance. While Microsoft will offer Extended Security Updates for a fee, starting at $61 USD (~$85 CAD) per device and doubling each year, upgrading to Windows 11 is the more secure, cost-effective solution.
"Many local businesses still aren't aware of this looming deadline," said Kelly Massey, CEO of Raxxos. "We're making it easy to upgrade without disruption."
Raxxos's Windows 11 migration package includes:
- Hardware assessments - Check device compatibility
- Custom upgrade planning - Minimize downtime
- Data backup & security - Protect important information
- Staff training - Help employees adapt quickly
- Ongoing support - Continued IT help after the upgrade
What This Really Means for Small Business Owners
For small businesses, failing to upgrade before the deadline doesn't just mean forgoing some fun new features. It means exposing the entire organization to unnecessary risk.
Without regular security updates, systems become vulnerable to ransomware, phishing attacks, and other cybersecurity threats that can disrupt operations or compromise sensitive data.
There's also the issue of compliance.
Businesses in industries like healthcare, legal, or finance may find themselves out of step with regulatory standards if they continue using unsupported software. It's also possible their cyber insurance policies don't cover them unless they're using an in-support operating system.
On top of that, as more vendors phase out support for Windows 10, commonly used tools like accounting software, scheduling apps, and internal platforms may start to malfunction or stop updating altogether.
Some companies might consider paying Microsoft's Extended Security Updates as a temporary fix, but the cost quickly adds up. The price doubles every year per device, turning what seems like a stopgap measure into an expensive recurring fee.
"We've seen companies wait too long and end up paying more to fix the fallout than they would've spent upgrading early," said Massey. "Running unsupported systems in 2025 is a real liability for any business."
Raxxos is already helping several Surrey and Langley businesses—including car dealerships, retailers, and restaurants—upgrade with minimal disruption.
