Why Now? Windows 10 is approaching End of Life
Microsoft will retire Windows 10 on 14 October 2025, ending free security and feature updates. The clock is ticking for organisations still relying on the old platform.
The Benefits of Upgrading to Windows 11
Upgrading isn’t just about compliance, it’s about improving security, productivity, and readiness for the future:
– Stronger security features such as TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, virtualisation-based protection, and Windows Hello enhancements.
– Boosted productivity and a modern experience, with features like Snap Layouts, File Explorer tabs, Widgets, Live Captions, Auto HDR, and improved gaming and creative tools.
– A smarter, streamlined interface that supports multitasking and hybrid working.
The Challenges: What’s Holding Companies Back?
Recent reports show the transition isn’t always straightforward:
– Compatibility issues affect up to 62% of devices, rising to 76% in larger organisations.
– High migration costs and disruption are a concern, with many citing expensive hardware upgrades and downtime.
– Small and medium-sized businesses are lagging behind, with many yet to start their migration despite high overall adoption rates.
How Our “All-In-One Trusted Advisor” Makes the Transition Easy
1. Strategic Planning & Assessment
We begin with a full compatibility audit, using tools such as Microsoft’s PC Health Check app and hardware assessments to determine which devices are ready and which may require upgrades.
2. Tailored Migration Pathways
– Upgrade existing devices where feasible (for example, adding RAM or replacing hard drives with SSDs) to extend their lifespan and avoid premature replacements.
– For outdated machines, we guide you in selecting new Windows 11-ready devices that suit your budget, performance requirements, and long-term plans.
3. Secure, Phased Deployment
We carry out phased roll-outs, starting with pilot groups before full deployment, to minimise disruption.
All important data is safely backed up and migrated using secure transfer methods, with contingency plans in place to ensure business continuity.
4. Post-Migration Optimisation & Support
Our service doesn’t end once Windows 11 is installed. We provide ongoing monitoring, performance optimisation, updates, and staff training to ensure you get the most out of your new system.

With Windows 10 approaching its end, there’s no better time to move confidently to Windows 11. Let our All-In-One Trusted Advisor deliver a seamless, secure, and cost-effective upgrade, built for today and ready for tomorrow.
