Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025, meaning no more free updates, security patches, or Microsoft support. Without these, your systems face serious cyber risks. At TEC Services Consulting, Inc., we’ve helped businesses navigate IT challenges for over 20 years. Upgrading to Windows 11 is critical to keep your operations secure and efficient. Here’s why you need to act now and how we can make your transition seamless.
Why Windows 11 Is a Must
Post-2025, unpatched Windows 10 systems will be vulnerable to attacks, threatening your data and reputation. Windows 11 delivers advanced security with TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, plus a sleek interface to boost productivity. Staying on a supported OS ensures compatibility with modern apps and builds client trust in your reliable, secure technology.
Your Windows 11 Upgrade Plan
TEC Services can simplify the Windows 11 upgrade for your business. Our expert technicians follow these steps, ensuring a secure, efficient, and minimally disruptive process:
Pre-Upgrade Assessment and Planning
Conduct a comprehensive inventory of the client’s devices (PCs, laptops, tablets), documenting specs like CPU, RAM, storage, and TPM/Secure Boot status.
Use Microsoft’s PC Health Check tool to verify Windows 11 compatibility (64-bit processor, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB storage, TPM 2.0, Secure Boot).
Review critical software (e.g., CRM, accounting tools) for Windows 11 compatibility by checking vendor websites or contacting support.
Back up all client data to cloud storage (e.g., OneDrive) or external drives to prevent loss.
Preparation and Pilot Testing
Perform system updates on Windows 10 devices (e.g., latest patches, drivers) to ensure a stable starting point.
Conduct a pilot upgrade on one or two non-critical devices to test compatibility, performance, and application functionality.
Provide initial training to the client’s staff on Windows 11’s interface (e.g., new Start menu, taskbar) during the pilot phase.
Full Deployment and Post-Upgrade Support
Monitor each phase for issues like slow performance or connectivity problems, applying fixes such as driver updates or configuration tweaks.
Conduct post-upgrade testing to ensure all critical applications and workflows function correctly.
Offer ongoing support, including a follow-up check-in to address any user concerns and confirm system stability, plus documentation of the upgraded environment for future reference.
