Migrating from Windows 10 to 11: the quick guide
Microsoft’s Windows 10 software is set for its official farewell on 14 October 2025 – and that’s much closer than it sounds.
That means no more security updates. No more patches. No more peace of mind.
If you’re running your business on Windows 10, you’re running out of time – and you’re not alone. As of April 2025, Windows 10 remains the dominant desktop operating system, holding 53% of the global market share, but 35% of small and medium-sized businesses admitted they were either unaware of the Windows 10 end-of-support deadline or have no plans to upgrade.
But don’t worry; with the right plan – and the right IT partner – this is your chance to futureproof your tech stack and give your users a smoother, more secure and overall smarter experience.
Our latest whitepaper explains everything you need to know about moving from Windows 10 to 11, including the 5 steps to a smooth migration.
Migrating to Windows 11: why it matters
Here’s what’s at stake if you stick with Windows 10 after the end-of-life deadline:
- Security risks: no updates means vulnerabilities go unpatched
- Compliance issues: risking industry standards and audits
- Compatibility problems: software will move on – and you’ll be left behind
- Performance gaps: Windows 11 is faster and designed for hybrid work
- Cost implications: the longer you wait, the more complex (and therefore costly) your migration becomes
