Riverbank IT Systems Warns Scottish Firms Still Running Windows 10 After Support Ended

With Windows 10 support ended in October 2025, Glasgow IT firm warns unpatched machines expose businesses to uninsurable security risk.

Glasgow, Scotland - Riverbank IT Systems is warning Scottish businesses still running Windows 10 that their machines no longer receive security updates - leaving every new vulnerability permanently open.

Microsoft ended Windows 10 support in October 2025. Machines on it now face unpatched exposure, potential cyber insurance invalidation and exclusion from Cyber Essentials certification.

"We are still finding offices where half the machines never got migrated," said a spokesperson for the Glasgow-based firm. "The risk compounds every month a new vulnerability appears and the patch never comes."

Riverbank IT Systems audits business estates to flag what can upgrade to Windows 11, what needs replacing and where Extended Security Updates make sense as a stopgap - sequenced so businesses keep running.

The Glasgow firm has supported Scottish businesses since 2003 with 24/7 helpdesk, managed IT services, cyber security and cloud migration. A free IT cost audit covers hardware lifecycle alongside licence and contract waste.
