Why Your Business Should Prepare for Windows 11
Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 in October 2025, which means businesses need to start planning now to move over to Windows 11. But this upgrade isn’t just about keeping up with the latest technology—it’s about keeping your business secure.
What’s the Difference Between Windows 10 and Windows 11?
Windows 11 is built with modern security in mind. It includes stronger protection against viruses, hacking, and ransomware—something every business needs in today’s online world. While Windows 10 still works, it simply doesn’t have the same level of built-in protection, and from October 2025, Windows 10’s security updates will be discontinued, leaving users vulerable.
Some of the biggest improvements include:
- Stronger device security with strict hardware requirments to ensure security standards
- Better protection from malware and cyberattacks
- Support for newer hardware, making your systems run faster and more efficiently
What Do You Need to Do?
- Check Your Computers
Not all older PCs can run Windows 11. You’ll need to check if your computers are compatible. This is something we can help you with. - Make Sure Software Still Works
Double-check that any important programs you and your team use will still run properly on Windows 11. We can help you run a full compatibility report. - Make a start on Training
Windows 11 looks and feels a bit different from Windows 10, so give your business time to adjust. A quick overview or short training can go a long way to save you being left behind in October. - Plan Ahead
Don’t wait until the last minute. Start the upgrade in phases today, get things tested out, and then roll it out to the rest of the business when you’re ready. - Stay Protected
Most importantly, switching to Windows 11 helps protect your business against modern cyber threats. It’s not just an upgrade—it’s a step toward a safer, more secure workplace.
The Bottom Line
Upgrading to Windows 11 isn’t just about staying up to date. It’s about protecting your data, your customers, and your business from growing cyber risks. Planning ahead now will save time, stress, and possibly money down the line.
