Windows 11 and why you need to upgrade today
Discover the benefits and how we can support your transition
Windows 11 has existed since 2021, but many businesses still run on Windows 10. Now is the time to upgrade as Microsoft will cease support for Windows 10 on October 14th, 2025.
Windows 11 is the latest Operating System (OS) from Microsoft, designed to replace Windows 10 with a fresher, easier-to-use design. Microsoft has announced that they will be ending their support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025.
But what does this mean for you? When do you need to upgrade and how can we support you?
On this page, we will cover
- The risk to your business of not upgrading
- The benefits and features of Windows 11
- How we can support you through the upgrade rollout
Until Windows 10 support stops
Why updating to Windows 11 is the right thing for your business
Microsoft plans out a roadmap for each of its Operating Systems, marking out a projected birth and all the way through to retirement, and now it is time for Windows 10 to retire. You will still be able to use Windows 10 but it will become vulnerable as it will no longer be receiving security updates.
The security risks around running unsupported systems can be huge for any business. We know cybercriminals are aware of the support stopping and they will be targeting the vulnerabilities in Windows 10.
Recovering from a cyber attack can take months or even years, and some businesses may never recover. A common cyber attack is ransomware, where a cybercriminal will hack into your system and prevent you from accessing your data until you pay them a fee to recover it. Even once you’ve paid the fee, your data might not be released, meaning it is gone forever. You might have a great backup system in place and believe this could never happen to you, but in instances where businesses don’t pay cybercriminals have been known to release data to the public. A data breach like this would leave you susceptible to hefty fines from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), along with damaging your business’ reputation. Would you want to work with a business that had their data exposed?
The benefits of Windows 11
Windows 11 was inspired by the workforce’s transition to hybrid and remote working and focuses on increasing productivity, creativity, and personalisation. It is built on the same foundation as Windows 10, so a lot of the functions remain the same. However, Windows 11 brings with it a suite of new functionality. The new OS has been designed with a modern, fresh, clean feel and the opportunity for greater personalisation. Focusing on ease of use, Microsoft has centred the start button, making it quicker for you to find what you need. By utilising the power of the cloud Microsoft 11 allows you to view your recent 365 files regardless of what device you last viewed them on.
