# Fleet or Be Fleeced: Don’t Let EOL Catch You Off Guard

Don’t let End of Life catch you off guard. Refresh your fleet with blueAPACHE and go in the draw to   
win a premium HP EliteBook.

## No updates. No patches. No protection.

Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025, and doing nothing could cost more than you think.

If you're managing a large, distributed fleet, the old refresh playbook no longer works. Rushed rollouts, reactive upgrades, and wasted devices come with mounting costs and operational risk, just as ESG expectations are rising.
