Windows 10 has not received regular security updates since October 2025. Organisations still running Windows 10 should plan the move to Windows 11 promptly to avoid security gaps, data loss and compatibility problems.

What Windows 11 offers businesses

  • Security: TPM 2.0, Secure Boot and improved encryption are part of the system.
  • Performance: Faster start-up times, more efficient use of resources and better integration with cloud environments.
  • Usability: A revised interface and new features for collaboration in teams.
  • Support: Microsoft will supply Windows 11 with updates for years to come.

What matters during migration

The first question is whether the existing hardware meets the requirements of Windows 11. After that, the migration needs careful planning, from data transfer to the integration of business software. An unprepared switch quickly leads to downtime or security gaps.

How DEVACON handles the migration

DEVACON has looked after IT infrastructures since 2011 and carries out Windows 11 migrations in the following steps:

  1. Checking existing hardware and software for compatibility
  2. Data migration with the least possible downtime
  3. Setting up security policies and user permissions
  4. Training staff to work with Windows 11
  5. Ongoing support after the migration

Key points

  • Windows 10 has not received regular security updates since October 2025.
  • Windows 11 includes current security features such as TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot.
  • A hardware check and careful planning are what make a migration free of downtime.

How DEVACON runs workplaces and infrastructure on behalf of organisations is described on the page Managed IT Services.
