Security Risks of Sticking with Windows 10
Once Microsoft ends support, your business computers will be
vulnerable to cyber threats.
Without security patches, hackers can exploit weaknesses, putting sensitive data at risk. Upgrading to Windows 11 ensures your systems stay protected with the latest security updates.
Better Performance for Your Business
Windows 11 is designed for
speed and efficiency. It optimizes hardware, reduces boot times, and enhances system performance. Whether you're managing client data, running cloud applications, or multitasking between projects, an upgrade will improve productivity.
New Features to Boost Productivity
Windows 11 includes
Snap Layouts, Virtual Desktops, and an updated
Start Menu to streamline workflow. If your business relies on
Microsoft Teams, it’s now built into the system—making virtual meetings and collaboration easier than ever.
Does Your Business Need New Hardware?
Not all PCs can run Windows 11. Microsoft has stricter system requirements, including:
- 64-bit processor (1 GHz or faster, with 2+ cores)
- 4 GB of RAM (minimum)
- 64 GB of storage
- UEFI firmware with Secure Boot capability
- TPM version 2.0
- DirectX 12-compatible graphics
If your current computers don’t meet these specs, now is the time to evaluate your IT infrastructure and plan for upgrades.
Benefits of Upgrading Your IT Setup
Modernized Technology
Upgrading isn’t just about software—it’s a chance to invest in faster, more efficient computers that handle demanding tasks with ease.
AI-Enhanced PCs for Smarter Workflows
New AI-enabled PCs with
Copilot can
automate tasks, optimize performance, and predict your needs, making everyday work smoother and more efficient.
Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings
Newer hardware consumes less power, reducing energy bills while keeping your business eco-friendly.
The Risks of Waiting Too Long
Cybersecurity Threats
As Windows 10 nears its end-of-life, hackers will
actively target outdated systems. Delaying your upgrade puts your data and operations at risk.
Software Compatibility Issues
New software and updates will be designed for Windows 11, meaning your
older systems may struggle to run critical business applications in the near future.
Operational Disruptions
A last-minute scramble to upgrade could lead to
downtime and lost productivity. Start early to ensure a smooth transition.
