A little more about the change:
The shift from Windows 10 to Windows 11
Windows 11 introduces a host of new features designed to enhance user experience, productivity and security. Some of the standout changes include:
- Enhanced performance: Windows 11 promises to be faster and more efficient, with a streamlined user interface.
- Improved security: With built-in features like TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, Windows 11 strengthens the security of devices.
- Updated hardware requirements: Windows 11 has stricter hardware requirements, meaning older machines running Windows 10 may no longer meet the system specifications.
These changes can be both exciting and challenging for businesses. For organisations and individuals with outdated hardware, not moving to Windows 11 could lead to compatibility issues, reduced performance etc.
Can I upgrade my current IT?
At the moment, there are many devices that can be upgraded. We suggest you take a look at the - always updated - Microsoft support.
It says, at the time of publishing:
An existing Windows 10 device can be upgraded to Windows 11 if it meets the following criteria:
-
The device is running a currently supported version of Windows 10. If the device isn't currently running a supported version of Windows 10, upgrade to a supported version of Windows 10.
-
The device meets the minimum hardware specifications to run Windows 11.
Specific timing for Windows 11 upgrade rollouts varies by device. Additionally, certain features have specific hardware requirements. For more information, see Windows 11 specs, features, and computer requirements.
