Why should businesses move to Windows 11 NOW

Why upgrade now?

Reason no 1: Running on an unsupported operating system can lead to increased security risk and associated financial and reputational risks.

 

  • Increased risk and consequences¹: Running on an unsupported operating system can subject your business to increased security risks where breaches can lead to significant financial losses and damage to reputation.
  • Industrial standards and insurance clauses²: Cyber insurance policies may require businesses to maintain up-to-date operating systems. Failing to upgrade could result in denied claims or higher premiums. Migrating to Windows 11 ensures compliance with these policies, safeguarding your financial interests. Customers should look at industrial standards and cyber insurance clauses to ensure they are compliant and to avoid surprises.

 

Reason no 2:  Microsoft 365 Apps and on-premises Office suites will no longer be supported on Windows 10 after Windows 10 reaches end of support.

After October 14 2025, while Microsoft 365 apps and on premise Office suite will continue to function, they will no longer be supported on Windows 10 after Windows 10 goes End of Support¹. This means
  • Microsoft will no longer provide phone/chat/email support for this configuration,
  • Microsoft will no longer be creating updates or hotfixes for issues that emerge when running on unsupported operating systems, and
  • New features or apps may not work on unsupported operating systems.
Purchase of Windows 10 ESU does not affect support for Microsoft 365 Apps on Windows 10. This will remain an unsupported configuration
even for customers with ESU.

Reason no 3: Migrating to Windows 11 takes time and it varies from businesses to businesses. Customers are encouraged to assess their readiness and start now to avoid missing the
end of support deadline.

 

 

  • Stakeholders buy-in and due diligence takes time: While Windows 11 is built on the same engineering platform as Windows 10 and hence highly compatible, many IT teams are required to get stakeholders buy-in, build a deployment and run due diligence that could take significant time.
  • Examples of due diligence include running compatibility assessments, testing and pilots before broad rollout.
  • Businesses with Windows 11 ineligible devices will also need to consider device procurement and supply lead times.
  • HP offers a Windows 11 readiness assessment service, to guide you through this process.

Reason no 4: Windows 11 offers great security, productivity and manageability benefits. Staying on Windows 10 means widening the digital gap as innovation continues to happen on the newer platform.

Value of Moving to Windows 11¹
Improve the End User experience and security
  • Windows 11 offers advanced security features like hardware-based isolation, encryption, and malware protection. Alongside HP Wolf Security, this ensures compliance with the latest security standards and regulations – significantly reducing your risks.
  • With AI embedded and improvements from UI enhancements like Snap Layouts to Microsoft Teams and other collaboration tools integration and boosts productivity.
Real world ROI and lower IT costs
  • Upgrading to Windows 11 can lead to cost savings through improved EUC efficiency and reduced security incidents particularly compared to maintaining outdated systems. See Forrester’s Total Economic Impact to see the benefits for your organisation.
Modernise & enhance your End User Compute Systems:
  • Automate deployments and updates (with Autopilot and Autopatch) and be ready for hot patching to speed updates and reduce reboots. (some features require Windows Enterprise)
