“Patching Windows 10 after end-of-support? Done.”
October 14, 2025, is a date that’s probably already circled in red on your Windows 10 clients’ calendars – or at least, it should be. It’s the day Microsoft stops releasing security updates for Windows 10. Yes, it’s the official End of Support (EoS) date, and we all know what that means: a scramble for upgrades, extended support costs.
As an MSP, this is both a headache and an opportunity. After all, your clients rely on you to keep their systems secure, compliant, and running smoothly. And if history is any guide, some of them will be clinging to their Windows 10 machines well into 2026 and beyond.
So, what’s your move? Why not 0patch? It’s your chance to offer a smarter, more cost-effective alternative to expensive upgrades and risky unpatched systems. Let’s talk about why.
Why Your Clients Don’t Want to Upgrade (and Why You Shouldn’t Force Them)
Let’s face it, some users just don’t want to give up their trusty Windows 10 machines, and for good reasons.
We get it. You’re probably already hearing this from your clients:
• “This machine is still perfectly fine. I’m not replacing it.”
• “I am not a fan of Windows 11. It’s too different.”
• “We just upgraded the software. It works. Why change it?”
• “Windows 11 feels more like spyware than software.”
• “Budget is tight. I can’t afford to replace half my hardware.”
• “My computer can’t run Windows 11”.
Sound familiar? This is where 0patch comes in. Instead of pushing clients to upgrade, you can keep their systems secure without the cost, disruption, and user frustration of a full OS migration.
If it ain’t broke... – It’s stable, familiar, and does the job, so why rock the boat?
Why MSPs Should Care About 0patch for Windows 10
1. Incredibly Simple Management
0patch was designed with MSPs in mind, offering a centralized, cloud-based management console that makes it easy to deploy, monitor, and manage patches across multiple clients. No more chasing down individual endpoints or dealing with complex configurations – it just works.
2. Extended Windows 10 Security Without Upgrading
Microsoft will officially stop providing security updates for Windows 10 in October 2025, which means systems still running it will be exposed to critical vulnerabilities. However, with 0patch, you can keep these systems secure by applying micro-patches to known vulnerabilities, even after Microsoft ends support. This means you can offer your clients a cost-effective, low-risk way to keep their operations running smoothly without forcing them into expensive, disturbing upgrades.
3. Rapid and Non-Disruptive Patching
Traditional patching can be time-consuming and disruptive for your clients, often requiring reboots and extensive testing. 0patch solves this with its micropatches, which are tiny, targeted code updates that apply in memory without restarting systems. This means less downtime, happier clients, and fewer headaches for your team.
4. Reduced Attack Surface and Compliance
With 0patch, your clients’ systems get only the security fixes they actually need, minimizing the attack surface, mitigating risks and reducing the time of unintentional disruptions. This also helps with regulatory compliance, especially in industries like healthcare, finance, and government where security is tightly regulated.
5. Cost Savings for Your Clients (and You)
Upgrading to a new operating system can be a massive expense, not just in terms of licensing but also in training, hardware upgrades, and migration costs. With 0patch, you can help your clients extend the life of their current infrastructure, reducing overall IT spending and freeing up budget for other critical projects.
