Microsoft Windows 10 reaches end of life for support on October 14,
2025. After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide technical
support, feature updates or security updates for Windows 10.
As with all devices and PCs continuing to run Windows 10, Topcon's FC-
5000 and FC-6000 controllers will still function, but will be more
vulnerable to security risks.
What we have seen:
When updating the Field Controllers to Windows OS 10 21H2 there is a possibility it will lose the
Windows License. Please make sure when updating Windows OS only use the 22H2 final windows 10 update.
What do we know:
These controllers cannot be upgraded to Windows 11, however installed software such as Topcon Field, Digital Layout, Pocket 3D and TRU will still receive updates and continue to function normally after this time.
What we are doing:
To keep your Windows 10 device as secure as possible after the end of support, please consider
taking the following steps:
• Ensure you have installed the final Windows OS version: 22H2
• Use Extended Security Updates (ESU) if necessary
• Install third-party antivirus software
• Enable a firewall
• Keep software updated regularly
• Backup your data regularly
