On October 14, 2025, Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10. This is an important milestone that affects not only your operating system but also how smoothly Traverse PC runs on your computer.
Whether you’re a current TPC Connection subscriber or holding on to an older license, here’s what this change means for you—and how to stay secure, supported, and productive.
What Windows 10 End of Support Means
After October 14, Microsoft will no longer provide:
- Security patches for new vulnerabilities
- Software updates that keep Windows stable and compatible
- Technical support for any edition of Windows 10
You can technically continue using Windows 10, but doing so exposes your computer to growing security risks, compatibility issues, and potential downtime as newer software and hardware stop working properly.
For Current TPC Users
If you’re running the latest version of Traverse PC, the good news is simple:
- TPC is fully compatible with Windows 11.
- You’ll continue to receive product updates, technical support, and training resources as long as your subscription is active.
- Upgrading your operating system ensures TPC keeps running smoothly without disruption.
If you’re on Windows 10 today, plan to upgrade your system to Windows 11 before October 14 to avoid last-minute issues.
For Older License Holders
If you’re using an older, non-current version of Traverse PC, the Windows 10 end of support is a bigger challenge:
- Older TPC versions may not run properly on Windows 11, since they weren’t designed or tested for it.
- Staying on Windows 10 after October 14 means you’ll be working in an unsupported environment—with no security patches from Microsoft and no guarantee of compatibility with TPC.
- If something breaks, both Windows and your outdated TPC version may leave you without a safety net.
To protect your projects and workflows, we strongly recommend upgrading to the latest release of Traverse PC. Doing so ensures full compatibility with Windows 11 and restores your access to updates, support, and training.
Your Best Path Forward
Here’s the smart way to prepare before October 14, 2025:
- Check your hardware – Make sure your PC meets the requirements for Windows 11.
- Update Traverse PC – Current TPC subscribers are already set. If you’re on an older license, now is the time to upgrade.
- Plan ahead – Don’t wait until support ends. Upgrading now gives you time to adjust without the pressure of a looming deadline.
Why Act Now?
- Avoid downtime when Windows 10 stops receiving updates.
- Keep your data safe with an OS and software that’s supported and secure.
- Unlock the latest Traverse PC features that make surveying faster and easier.
The bottom line: Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025. For current TPC users, upgrading to Windows 11 is the key step. For older license holders, this is the perfect time to upgrade Traverse PC so you’re ready for the future with confidence.
