The Clock is Ticking: Why Upgrading from Windows 10 to 11 is Critical for Schools

October 2025 marks the official end of support for Windows 10. For schools still relying on this operating system, this is a significant milestone that requires immediate attention. The transition to Windows 11 isn’t just about staying up to date—it’s about ensuring security, performance, and long-term sustainability.

The Risks of Staying on Windows 10

Once Microsoft ends support for Windows 10, devices will no longer receive security updates, leaving them vulnerable to cyber threats and compliance risks. Schools, in particular, store sensitive data, making outdated systems a prime target for attacks.

While Microsoft offers extended update licenses, they are costly and don’t provide full protection. Rather than relying on temporary fixes, upgrading to Windows 11 ensures long-term security, better performance, and complete peace of mind.

What Windows 11 Brings to the Table

✔ Stronger Security: Built-in protections against malware, phishing, and cyber threats.

✔ Improved Performance: Faster boot times, smoother multitasking, and better system efficiency.

✔ Modern Features: A user-friendly interface, enhanced cloud integration, and better software compatibility.

✔ Long-Term Support: Ongoing updates for security and stability.

Secure Your Devices Before Stock Runs Out

With high demand expected, waiting until the last minute could result in stock shortages and higher prices. Upgrading now ensures a smooth transition without disruption.

Why You Should Upgrade Now

With the Windows 10 end-of-support date approaching, demand for Windows 11-compatible devices is already rising. Many organisations will wait until the last minute to upgrade, leading to stock shortages and potential delays in deployment. Acting early ensures that your school or business secures the necessary devices before supply chain constraints impact availability.

Delaying the upgrade can also lead to increased costs. As the deadline nears, businesses and schools will find themselves competing for limited stock, driving prices higher. Additionally, the longer an organisation waits, the more urgent the upgrade becomes, potentially leading to rushed decisions and disruptions in operations.
