Planning Your Transition from Windows 10: Why It Matters and What You Need to Do Next
As you may already be aware, Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10 at the close of this year, leaving just seven months for your organization to transition. After support ends, Windows 10 will no longer receive essential updates or critical security patches, which could expose your systems to increasing risks and vulnerabilities.
Why Transition to Windows 11?
Switching to a new operating system might feel like a daunting task, but there are compelling reasons to upgrade. Windows 11 introduces enhanced security features, streamlined performance, and improvements designed specifically for modern workflows. Upgrading isn’t just about staying current; it’s about ensuring your business remains secure and productive.


Enhanced Security: Why it Matters
Windows 11 brings significant security enhancements designed to protect your organisation from emerging cyber threats. While these improvements provide robust foundational security, we strongly advise implementing additional protective layers for comprehensive cybersecurity. One of our most trusted solutions is ESET antivirus software, offering proactive, powerful protection that complements Windows 11’s built-in features, creating a fortified defence for your valuable business data.
