Windows 11 Migration
Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 in October 2025 necessitating a transition to Windows 11. This upgrade is crucial to maintain the security and functionality of our systems, as continuing with an unsupported operating system would leave our computers vulnerable to security threats.
Windows 11 also brings several benefits:
- Enhanced security features
- Modern interface
- Improved compatibility with newer applications
