Windows 11 Adoption is Soaring – Should Your Business Upgrade?
Still using Windows 10 in your business? With Windows 11 adoption hitting an all-time high, now is the time to ask: Should you upgrade?
What’s Driving the Shift to Windows 11?
Windows 11 now holds 35.55% of the market as of October 2024, while Windows 10 still dominates at 60.97%. But that balance is shifting—fast. Here’s why:
- End of free support for Windows 10 – After 14th October 2025, Microsoft will no longer provide free updates, including security patches.
- Costly security updates – Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates (ESU) will cost businesses $30 (~£23) per device for just one extra year—and prices may rise.
- The rise of AI PCs – More businesses are upgrading hardware to support AI-driven features, making Windows 11 the logical choice.
- Productivity & security improvements – From an improved File Explorer to enhanced phishing and ransomware protection, Windows 11 is designed to streamline work and safeguard your data.
What Happens If You Stay on Windows 10?
- Your PCs will still work, but you’ll be more vulnerable to cyber threats without security updates.
- You’ll eventually have to upgrade anyway—so delaying now could mean a more rushed and costly transition later.
So, Should You Upgrade Now?
If you rely on Windows 10, you have a choice:
✅ Upgrade now and get ahead—ensuring a smooth transition while benefiting from better security and performance.
⏳ Pay for temporary security updates—but risk increasing costs and technical debt in the long run.
