#endpoint management

Your employees are logging in from laptops, iPads in the field, and Android phones on the go — every device a potential door into your business data. Meraki Systems Manager brings iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Chrome OS under a single cloud console with zero-touch provisioning, encryption enforcement, and native integration with your Meraki network.

With trusted access, adaptive firewall rules, and audit-ready compliance reporting built in, SM closes the gap between a modern workforce and a compliant one — no more spreadsheets, no more device sprawl, no more five-vendor juggling act.

Running a modern business means more than selling products or services. Technology is the backbone of nearly every industry today, from healthcare to education to financial services. IT departments are responsible for ensuring that digital operations remain secure, reliable, and scalable. Yet too often, these teams are expected to perform mission-critical tasks without the right set of tools.…

Why this matters

On October 14, 2025, Windows 10 reaches the end of support: no more security or feature updates, and no Microsoft tech support. Your PC will still run, but the risk rises unless you upgrade or enroll in ESU.

What actually stops?

Security & feature updates + Microsoft support stop for Windows 10.

Extended Security Updates (ESU) can keep critical/important patches flowing after EOS (no features/support). Options include free enrollment via Windows Backup or Microsoft Rewards, or $30 USD for individuals; commercial ESU starts at $61/device (year 1).

Microsoft 365 Apps: will continue receiving security updates on Windows 10 through Oct 10, 2028 (feature updates through Aug 2026), easing migration.

Microsoft Defender Antivirus will keep getting Security Intelligence updates through 2028 on Windows 10.

Quick checks (with code)

1) Inventory Windows 10 and flag pre-22H2 devices (PowerShell)

$os = Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem $ver = (Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion").DisplayVersion [pscustomobject]@{ PC = $env:COMPUTERNAME; Caption = $os.Caption; Version = $os.Version Build = $os.BuildNumber; DisplayVersion = $ver } | Export-Csv .\win10_inventory.csv -NoTypeInformation if ($os.Caption -like "*Windows 10*" -and $ver -ne "22H2") { Write-Warning "Upgrade to Windows 10 22H2 before ESU." }

(Why? ESU enrollment targets supported builds; 22H2 is the final Windows 10 release.)

2) Find Windows 10 endpoints in Microsoft Defender (KQL)

DeviceInfo | where OSVersion startswith "10.0" | project DeviceName, OSVersion, DeviceId

Run in Advanced Hunting to list Windows 10 devices needing action.

3) Check Windows 11 readiness signals (PowerShell)

$tpm = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Tpm -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue "TPM Present: " + [bool]$tpm try { "Secure Boot: " + (Confirm-SecureBootUEFI) } catch { "Secure Boot: Not supported/disabled" }

Helpful to scope upgrades vs. ESU bridging.

Migration paths

Upgrade to Windows 11 for security-by-default and ongoing support.

Bridge with ESU (limited-time) to buy planning time; remember this does not add features or support.
