With the end of support for Windows 10 just over a year away, many business owners are starting to ask themselves why they haven’t upgraded to Windows 11 yet. Are you one of them?
Surprisingly, most businesses are capable of making the switch, yet a large percentage are still holding off. Even though the upgrade is free and relatively easy, research shows that 88% of Windows 10 systems are running on hardware that supports Windows 11. Despite this, 82% of businesses haven’t made the transition.
This hesitation is worrying, especially as the deadline approaches. After October 2025, Windows 10 will no longer receive free updates, including critical security patches. This leaves businesses at greater risk for cyber threats and vulnerabilities.
So, what’s the reason for the delay? For many businesses, it’s the fear of disrupting daily operations. Upgrading an entire business’s operating system can seem like a huge hassle, with concerns over potential downtime or technical challenges. However, with expert assistance, upgrading to Windows 11 can be much simpler than you might think (feel free to reach out if you need help with this).
But it’s not just about avoiding future risks—there are plenty of benefits to making the switch to Windows 11 right now. Some of the key advantages include:
- Stronger security: Windows 11 is equipped with better security measures to protect your business from modern cyber threats.
- Improved performance: You’ll notice faster, more efficient performance, which can boost your team’s productivity.
- A sleek, user-friendly interface: The updated design of Windows 11 is intuitive and easy for your team to navigate, improving workflows and making daily tasks smoother.
Additionally, Windows 11 maximizes the capabilities of any newer hardware you may already be using, making the most of your tech investment.
Upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 is completely free as long as your devices meet the system requirements. Given the advantages, and with the deadline fast approaching, there’s no reason to wait any longer.
