Windows 10 Nearing End-of-Life Highlights Need for Updates; TeamViewer DEX Supports Structured Migration

Analysis Shows Significant Need for Updates as Windows 10 Nears End-of-Life; TeamViewer DEX Enables Structured Migration

GÖPPINGEN / GERMANY, 8 October 2025 – With support for Windows 10 ending in mid-October, concerns are growing over the continued use of the operating system worldwide. Data from TeamViewer, a global leader in digital workplace solutions, underscores these challenges, revealing that over 40% of global endpoints recently receiving support via TeamViewer still run Windows 10.

The analysis is based on an anonymized sample of 250 million TeamViewer connections initiated between July and September 2025, including both paid and free license users.

Jan Bee, Chief Information Security Officer at TeamViewer, said:
“In just a few days, two in five endpoints will no longer receive patches or updates, leaving them exposed to vulnerabilities. Companies and individuals must upgrade to a supported operating system promptly. Keeping systems up to date remains one of the most effective ways to protect against cybersecurity threats.”

Mitigating Upgrade Challenges with TeamViewer DEX

TeamViewer DEX helps organizations manage the migration to a new operating system by addressing common challenges faced during large-scale upgrades. The platform’s Windows 11 Readiness Pack provides IT teams with a real-time view of their device landscape, automatically checking compatibility requirements such as processor generation, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) configuration, and Secure Boot.

This visibility enables organizations to identify and prioritize devices that are ready for upgrade, require remediation, or may need replacement. Post-upgrade, TeamViewer DEX validates devices to ensure correct configuration and compliance, giving IT teams confidence that migrations are successful.

Adrian Todd, Vice President of Product Management at TeamViewer, commented: “Our solution gives IT teams clear insights into which devices are ready to upgrade, where potential issues exist, and ensures compliance once the upgrade is complete. This structured approach makes migrations scalable, efficient, and resource-effective.”

With TeamViewer DEX, organizations can confidently transition to supported operating systems, reducing risk and ensuring business continuity in a rapidly evolving IT environment.
