Microsoft has announced the end of Windows 10 support for Microsoft Teams Rooms. It will therefore be crucial for businesses to prepare for this transition. From October 14, 2025, Teams Rooms devices running Windows 10 will no longer receive security updates or new features. Here’s what this means for your organization and how you can prepare.
Why is this transition necessary?
Microsoft has decided to end support for Windows 10 for Teams Rooms in order to focus on the new features and security enhancements offered by Windows 11. This transition will enable users to benefit from the latest innovations in productivity, security and device management.
Impact on existing equipment
Most Teams Rooms devices running Windows 10 will be automatically upgraded to Windows 11. However, some certified devices, such as the Lenovo Hub 500 (i5-7500T), HP Slice G2 (i5-7500T), and Yealink NUC – NUC7i5DNKE (i5-7300U), will not be able to be upgraded and will need to be replaced. We recommend that you contact the manufacturer or installer of your audiovisual equipment to check whether your model is affected.
Steps to follow for a smooth transition
- Device inventory: Use the Teams Rooms Pro Management room inventory export tool or the Windows 11 compatibility checker to identify devices requiring upgrading or replacement.
- Upgrade planning: Plan to upgrade your devices to Windows 11 before the October 14, 2025 deadline to avoid any service interruptions.
- User training: Make sure your users are informed of upcoming changes and trained in the new features of Windows 11.
