Ease Your Upgrade Worries: Why Moving to Windows 11 is Smoother Than You Think
Ian Robertson : Oct 8, 2024
With the upcoming end of support for Windows 10 in October 2025, many business owners find themselves facing a critical decision: to upgrade to Windows 11 or to continue with the old system. As the deadline draws near, the urgency to switch becomes more apparent, yet many still hesitate. Why is this the case, and what can be done to ease the transition?
Research indicates that the majority of businesses have the capability to upgrade, as demonstrated by a survey of over 750,000 Windows 10 systems which found that 88% of them meet the hardware requirements for Windows 11. Despite this, a staggering 82% of businesses have yet to make the move. This hesitation is concerning, especially as the support cut-off date approaches, after which Windows 10 will no longer receive crucial security updates. The risks associated with running unsupported software are significant and can leave businesses vulnerable to cyber threats.
The main concern for many is the potential disruption to daily operations. The idea of upgrading an entire business’s operating system can seem daunting, with worries about downtime and technical complications. However, upgrading to Windows 11 is often smoother than anticipated, particularly with expert support. At Robertson Technology Group, we specialize in managing these transitions seamlessly, ensuring minimal disruption to your workflow.

• Enhanced security features that protect against modern cybersecurity threats, keeping your business data safe.
• Improved system performance that can significantly boost productivity.
• A modern, user-friendly interface that enhances everyday usability and team collaboration.
For businesses running on newer hardware, Windows 11 also ensures that you are maximizing the potential of your technological investments. The upgrade is offered at no cost for eligible systems, making it an economically sensible decision as well.
The benefits of upgrading extend beyond just keeping up with software support. Windows 11’s capabilities can transform your business operations, making tasks quicker and more efficient, which in turn can lead to better customer service and increased profitability.
