Transition to Windows 11

Yes, you can continue to use Windows 10 until its end of support in October 2025. However, we encourage planning for the future as early as possible to ensure a smooth transition when the time comes.

Transitioning to Windows 11 is a forward-thinking move. It’s designed for the modern workplace, offering enhanced performance, security, and productivity features. It’s also designed to utilise AI features and includes Copilot. If your hardware is compatible and you’re ready for an upgrade, Windows 11 is a wise choice.

If you choose not to transition to Windows 11, your Windows 10 system will still function. However it will no longer receive security updates or technical support after October 2025, which could leave your system vulnerable to security risks and cause business disruption.

The best time to transition is after you’ve assessed your hardware compatibility, backed up your data, and ensured your applications are Windows 11-ready. Planning your transition around these factors will lead to a seamless shift to Windows 11.

Remember, at Datacom, we’re here to support you every step of the way, to make sure your transition is aligned with your business needs and timelines.

Transitioning to Windows 11 offers enhanced performance, security, and productivity features, making it ideal for the modern workplace. With new innovative tools, Windows 11 is designed to unlock the full capabilities of your hardware and elevate user engagement.

We recommend you considering the following before you transition to Windows 11:
