End of Life for Microsoft Office 2010 + Office 2013 on 365

By |2020-11-18T14:20:03-05:00November 18th, 2020|IT Support, Office 365 & G Suite, Uncategorized|

If you’re still running your business on Microsoft Office 2010 applications, your luck is starting to run out. According to Microsoft, Office 2010 has stopped receiving support since October 13th, 2020. Microsoft will also no longer support Office 2013 connecting to Office 365. Now is the time to upgrade to latest version of Microsoft Office, 2019.

What does this mean for you?

You can continue to use Office 2010 without any issues, but after October 13th, you will no longer be provided with technical support, bug fixes, or security fixes for Office 2010 vulnerabilities that may be reported or discovered. This includes security updates which can help protect your PC from harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. Any functionality issues with Office 2013 or earlier connecting to Office 365 will be a billable service as it is no longer supported.

Why should I upgrade?

You might ask, are security and feature updates really that important for my business operations. The answer is a resounding yes!

The well-informed might remember the worldwide cyber attack known as “WannaCry” that struck over 200 000 computers in 2017. This form of ransomware encrypted the computer’s files and demanded ransom payments from companies in order to get them back. How could this happen? WannaCry attacked computers who were still running older Windows operating systems and had not yet been upgraded to the most recent security upgrades.

If you get a security breach, the amount of downtime and recovery could be devastating to deal with especially if you’re a small business or non-profit.

How can E-Tech help?

The best practice with all security risks is to act on them as soon as possible. You can be sure that you’re at risk immediately when the support ends. We can initiate your upgrade seamlessly for you, leaving you stress-free. We encourage you to contact us to to get started.
