Thought about upgrading to Windows 11 for a couple of seconds

Are you still running Windows 10 in your organization? It might be time to consider making the move to Windows 11.

Even though Windows 11 has been out for three years, it’s really starting to take off, accounting for 35.55% of the market as of October 2024. Windows 10 still holds around 60.97% share, but change is coming—and there are some strong reasons to upgrade.

The most pressing news is that from October 14 onwards, Microsoft will no longer provide free support for Windows 10. While your operating system won’t suddenly stop working, you’ll miss out on critical updates—like the latest protections against malware and cyber threats.

Microsoft is offering extended security support for an additional year, but that’ll cost businesses $30 (about £23) per device, and it’s only a short-term solution.

Why the recent surge in Windows 11 interest?

For one thing, the PC market is seeing renewed activity, partly due to the emergence of “AI PCs” equipped to handle AI-driven tasks more efficiently. Users want their hardware to align with the newest software, including Windows 11. There’s also a buzz around “Windows Intelligence,” a potential rebranding of some AI features in Windows 11.

Upgrading isn’t just about staying current, though. Windows 11 provides a more streamlined and intuitive experience, offering new features like custom widgets and a revamped File Explorer, all designed to boost productivity.

It also enhances security, with stronger safeguards against cyber threats such as:

  • Ransomware: attackers lock you out of your files and demand payment for access
  • Phishing: scammers use fake emails to trick you into handing over sensitive information

If you prefer to hold on to Windows 10, Microsoft’s one-year security extension might buy you some extra time. But if you ask us, you’d simply be postponing the inevitable—and missing out on the advantages of upgrading.
