Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late: Windows 10 Support Ends Soon
By Julie Bays, Director, OBA Management Assistance Program
The move away from Windows 10 is not optional. After October 14, 2025, unsupported systems in your firm will become a liability, technically, ethically, and possibly legally. This is more than an IT issue. It could be a risk to client confidentiality, compliance, and your ethical duties under OPRC 1.1 and 1.6.
If you haven’t already started planning, now is the time. Check compatibility, inventory your devices, and begin budgeting for replacements. Consider this a chance to modernize your tech, improve security, and ensure your firm is meeting the standards expected of the legal profession.
Look out for my article, “Outdated and At Risk: Why Lawyers Must Move Beyond Windows 10 Now,” in the August Oklahoma Bar Journal for more details and a step-by-step transition guide.
