Windows 10 Deadline: Is Your ATM Ready?

Time Is Running Out: Windows 10 Support Ends October 2026

Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10 in October 2026. For many financial institutions, this change will directly impact ATM security, compliance, and future planning. If you haven’t started preparing, now is the time

Your ATM Fleet May Be Affected More Than You Think

Popular ATM models like the Hyosung 7600 and 5100T cannot be upgraded to Windows 11 due to hardware limitations. But don’t panic—this doesn’t mean you need to replace them immediately.

You can extend their lifespan to 2029 by:

  • Upgrading the PC core

  • Reloading all ATM software

  • Installing a Windows 10 2019 license

This gives you an additional 4 years of operation — enough time to plan or budget for replacements.

TA Series Models? You Have a Path Forward

If you’re using TA models, the good news is they can be upgraded to Windows 11. But there’s a catch:
Upgrade kits are limited, and the cost per unit is estimated between $5,000–$8,000.

Supplies Are Limited — And Time Is Short

  • Upgrade kits are in short supply

  • Manufacturers are already limiting availability

  • Orders must be placed within the next few months or risk missing out entirely

  • Even refurbished ATMs will need to be updated to extend their usability
