Investing in the right hardware can help your organisation leverage AI-driven efficiencies, enhance productivity and performance, save money and operate more sustainably. Plus, with support for the Windows 10 operating system ending in October 2025, there’s a compelling reason to upgrade your Windows fleet to new AI-compatible devices, sooner rather than later.
Microsoft is closing support for Windows 10 on 14 October 2025. This has important implications for your business because Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or technical support for that operating system. Using unsupported systems can leave you vulnerable to cybercrime and data breaches. Your organisation also runs the risk of violating industry compliance requirements by using outdated software, failing to fulfil your contractual obligations, and loss of your insurance cover.
Upgrading to Windows 11 optimised devices is the obvious solution, but it’s essential to make your fleet-refresh process a priority. Experts predict there will be significant constrains in the PC supply chain leading up to Windows 10 end-of-support date, with demand peaking in mid-2025. The average timeframe for a Windows 11 migration project for a mid-sized organisation is 440 days, so delaying the move could be costly and time-consuming.
1. Get ahead of demand for Windows 11 devices, avoid supply issues and avoid the cost of extension that will come with extending support for Windows 10 beyond the October 2025 deadline.
2. Start leveraging the benefits of AI-enabled PCs to support your business growth and increase productivity. Upgrading to an AI-powered device transforms your PCs from a business tool to a business assistant. Working on old hardware can lead to compatibility and performance challenges for your staff, as they face issues like long boot times, slow Wi-Fi, poor display resolution, limited battery life and low-quality microphones and cameras. Then there are the more serious considerations like security issues and the fact that some older PCs (pre-2019) may not be Windows 11 compatible.
3. As an HP Amplify Impact 5-Star partner, Datacom works with HP to reduce our impact on the planet and create more sustainable and cost-saving solutions for our customers. To avoid the worst climate impacts, global greenhouse gas emissions must drop by half by 2030. HP and Datacom are working together to help drive a low-carbon future and enable organisations to offset the end-to-end carbon footprint of their PCs. It is shocking to think that only 12.5% of e-waste is responsibly recycled, which is why Datacom has committed to a no e-waste policy. We minimise e-waste by sustainably repurposing or retiring your old assets, and offer responsible end-of-life options including buy-back schemes, data destruction and responsible asset recycling.
By optimising the setup and configuration of your PCs, you can deploy your IT assets more quickly and save money. For example, a company with a mid-sized fleet could reduce their unused stock by 27% for a potential annual saving of $50,000.
If you’re ready to refresh and migrate to Windows 11 and AI-enabled devices, we can help you plan and prepare by assessing your current assets and charting the most efficient path to next-gen PC adoption.
