Windows 10 End of Life: A Critical Upgrade Moment for Dragon Users
Important Update for Resellers and Partners
As Microsoft prepares to officially retire Windows 10 in October 2025, organizations using legacy software like Dragon Professional Group v15 are facing a turning point. Without ongoing support or security updates, continued use of outdated software on an unsupported OS introduces significant performance, security, and compliance risks.
Now is the time for resellers and partners to act. Help your clients make a seamless transition to Dragon Professional v16, fully optimized for Windows 11 and equipped with powerful enhancements for the modern workplace.
Why Upgrade to Dragon Professional v16?

Built on advanced speech engine improvements, v16 delivers:
Faster voice-to-text conversion
Higher transcription accuracy

This means clients can work faster and smarter—especially in documentation-heavy roles like law, healthcare, and public service.
