Microsoft has declared that the current version of Windows 10, launched in 2022, will be the last.
If you use Windows 10, you might be wondering what this means for your day-to-day activities.
The good news…
…is that your computers will not quit working unexpectedly. Critical updates and security patches for Windows 10 are also not going away anytime soon.
However, you should consider updating to Windows 11 as soon as possible. Microsoft has stated unequivocally that it will devote all of its attention on the new operating system going forwards, thus all future advances and innovations will be focused on Windows 11.
Upgrading can be a daunting prospect, but there are numerous advantages to switching to Windows 11:
Improved performance
Windows 11 is designed to maximise efficiency and performance across all types of devices, making it an obvious choice for organisations seeking faster and more efficient technology.
Enhanced user experience
The interface has been given a more modern appearance, making it easier to get around and to customise.
Improved security
Windows 11 includes Microsoft’s most advanced security measures, making it more difficult for cyber criminals to compromise your PC.
Improved cloud service integration
Windows 11 gives you access to a variety of cloud-based services, making it easy to collaborate with other team members and increase the efficiency of your organisation.
If you’re still on the fence about upgrading, remember that Microsoft will ultimately stop delivering security patches for Windows 10. We anticipate it will be in late 2025. This means that relying on Windows 10 for too long may expose your company to security risks.
The sooner you upgrade, the stronger your security against these attacks will be, and the more substantial the benefits of Windows 11 will be.
Moving to Windows 11 requires careful planning and execution, just like any other major project. Your hardware must meet particular specifications, and of course you want to ensure that it is done without disrupting day-to-day operations.
