Here’s What You Need to Know about Windows 11 support for your devices
Windows 10 support is officially ending on October 14, 2025, and while that might seem like a long way off, now is the perfect time to start thinking ahead.
One of the biggest questions businesses and individuals are asking us is…
Can our current PC upgrade to Windows 11, or will I need a replacement?
Microsoft has introduced stricter hardware requirements for Windows 11, meaning some older devices won’t be able to upgrade. If your computers don’t meet these requirements, you may need to start planning for replacements—but don’t worry, you still have time.
The good news? You don’t need to figure this out on your own—we can assess your devices for you and help ensure a smooth, stress-free transition.
Why Upgrade to Windows 11?
If your devices are compatible, upgrading to Windows 11 is a smart move. It’s not just about staying up to date—Windows 11 is designed to be faster, more secure, and more efficient than Windows 10.
Here’s what you can expect
- Better performance – Windows 11 is optimised for speed, with improved multitasking, faster boot times, and more efficient resource management.
- Stronger security – Built-in security features and enhanced ransomware protection keep your data safer than ever.
- Future-proof technology – Windows 11 is built for the long term, ensuring compatibility with the latest software, applications, and security updates for years to come.
Not every Windows 10 device will be eligible for an upgrade. Some older computers may not have the right hardware to support Windows 11, meaning they’ll need to be replaced.
Can Your PC Run Windows 11?
Unlike previous Windows updates, where most devices could upgrade automatically, Windows 11 has specific system requirements that older machines may not meet.
If your business relies on outdated hardware, you could find yourself stuck on an unsupported operating system after October 2025, increasing the risk of cybersecurity threats, performance issues, and software incompatibilities.
Let Us Check for You!
Upgrading to Windows 11 should be a seamless process—if you have the right hardware. But checking compatibility across multiple business devices can be time-consuming and confusing.
That’s where we come in. We can:
- Assess your current devices to determine if they meet Windows 11’s system requirements.
- Identify any hardware limitations and recommend solutions.
- Help you plan for replacements if needed, so you’re not caught off guard.
- Ensure a smooth, disruption-free upgrade to keep your business running efficiently.
If your PCs aren’t compatible, we’ll help you explore the best upgrade options—whether that means upgrading specific components or replacing outdated machines.
Why Start Planning Now?
You don’t need to make any immediate changes, but waiting until the last minute can cause unnecessary stress, security risks, and rushed decisions.
Here’s why you should start thinking about Windows 11 now
- Avoid last-minute panic – As the 2025 deadline approaches, demand for new devices will increase, potentially leading to delays or higher costs. Planning ahead ensures you get what you need at the best price.
- Prevent security vulnerabilities – Running an unsupported operating system means no more security updates, leaving your business open to cyber threats, malware, and data breaches.
- Ensure a smooth transition – Giving yourself time to upgrade ensures minimal downtime, keeping your operations running without disruption.
- Take control of your IT budget – By assessing your needs now, you can spread out costs over time instead of facing a big expense all at once.
Think of it like upgrading your phone—eventually, older models stop receiving updates and become slow or insecure. The same applies to computers. Staying ahead of the change puts you in control rather than forcing you into a rushed decision later.
