In order to support for Windows 10 scheduled for October 2025, companies must prepare to migrate to Windows 11. This transition will not only improve safety and performance, but also allow organizations to remain competitive in a constant technological environment evolution.
How to migrate to Windows 11
Migrating on time is essential to avoid risks such as cyber attacks, regulatory breaches and compatibility problems, thus protecting sensitive data and optimizing IT operations:
- Hardware and software compatibility evaluation. Before making the leap to Windows 11, it is essential that companies evaluate the compatibility of their current hardware and software. Many old devices may not meet the necessary hardware requirements for the new operating system. Planning in advance will avoid times of inactivity and facilitate a transition without setbacks. Although it is possible to continue using Windows 10, Microsoft will begin to charge for security updates from October 2025, which represents an additional cost without new functionalities. Early planning will identify which equipment can be updated and where new investments are needed
- Optimized hardware adoption for Ia. The optimized hardware adoption for artificial intelligence (AI) is key to preparing companies for the future. PCs with neuronal processing units (NPU) work together with CPU and GPU to enhance AI in various areas, from the optimization of workflows to the improvement of videoconferences and the integration of advanced tools in creative processes. The new PCs designed for Windows 11 include functions such as Copilot and Copilot+ with real -time adaptive experiences. These devices offer greater performance, battery life, better cooling and lower weight, making them a strategic investment to improve productivity and efficiency
Five tips for successful migration to Windows 11
- Prioritize security. A study by Dell Technologies reveals that 83% of organizations have been affected by security attacks in the last 12 months, mainly due to malware, phishing and data gaps. Integrated security in the PC can significantly reduce the risk for organizations. However, only 4 out of 10 companies surveyed prioritize the purchase of technologies or applications with incorporated security. Windows 11 offers optimized security in modern hardware. It is crucial to choose equipment that guarantees data protection and workloads in any environment, and that have controls in the Zero Trust supply chain and defenses to mitigate risks and strengthen safety. Given the increase in attacks on devices, functions such as BIOS verification, safe starting, TPM 2.0 and VBS are essential to maintain system integrity
- Strengthen workforce. According to Enterprise Strategy Group, 58% of organizations have begun to implement PCs and laptops with incorporated AI processors, and another 33% plan to do so. Trusting ancient systems can frustrate employees, reduce their commitment to the company and harm the retention of talent in the current hypercompetitive labor market. It is important to choose PCs with AI and Windows 11 Pro that are equipped with advanced hardware that admits automatic learning processes and intelligent tasks, allowing employees to administer workloads without effort without
- Planning of the total property and sustainability. Although the update to Windows 11 requires an initial investment, companies can recover these costs quickly thanks to lower main maintenance, less errors and better use of resources. A modern ecosystem reduces technological problems and allows to focus on the business. In addition, flexible payment options eliminate large initial investments, facilitating scalability. Migration to Windows 11 also offers the opportunity to adopt more energy efficient PCs, reducing long -term costs and aligning with sustainability objectives, which contributes to improving corporate social responsibility and reducing electronic waste.
