Don't take risks: Make the proactive shift to new Windows 11 Pro devices as Windows 10 support nears end

Copilot+ PCs embody a new philosophy of productivity

June 25, 2025

With the official end of support for Windows 10 rapidly approaching on October 14, 2025, organizations are urged to refresh devices with new Windows 11 Pro devices to safeguard operations, enhance security, and embrace the future of productivity. This critical deadline, though seemingly distant, demands immediate attention given the complexities of budgeting, internal decision-making, and technical migration processes.

Continuing to operate on Windows 10 beyond the support deadline poses significant risks. Without essential security updates, systems become increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks and emerging threats, leaving sensitive data and critical infrastructure exposed. Furthermore, the cessation of technical support via phone or live channels will leave businesses without crucial assistance for troubleshooting and resolving issues, potentially leading to costly downtime and operational disruptions. Proactive migration to Windows 11 Pro is not merely an upgrade; it is a vital defensive strategy against these escalating risks.

In today’s pervasive hybrid work environments, where employees connect and share data from anywhere, anytime, security and efficiency are paramount. Windows 11 Pro stands as the most secure Windows operating system to date, offering a robust foundation that not only fortifies your security posture but also significantly boosts computer efficiency. It introduces the "Zero Trust" principle, a modern security model that verifies every user and device before granting access. This ensures end-to-end protection, maintaining high levels of data defense against cyber threats while providing granular authentication, authorization, and limiting access to only what is absolutely necessary.

One of the primary concerns that often delays device refresh cycles for organizations is the perceived complexity of transitioning to new hardware and operating systems, including potential disruptions to business processes or compatibility issues with critical corporate applications. Extensive testing has revealed that Windows 11 Pro boasts an impressive 99.7% compatibility rate with existing company applications and programs. This high level of compatibility ensures a smooth and uninterrupted transition, mitigating fears of performance degradation or operational roadblocks post-migration.

The advent of NPU-equipped computers has ushered in a new category: AI PCs. Microsoft is taking the AI PC experience even further with Copilot+PCs. With Copilot+PC is based on using the “TIME” wisely to manage and open space for executing more valuable things in business life . With Copilot, the AI-powered personal assistant available on Windows 11 pre-installed PCs, advanced digital assistance is no longer futuristic. Copilot is designed to alleviate demanding workloads, streamline daily tasks, and enhance the efficiency of business processes. It can analyze texts, generate summaries, spark creative ideas for presentations, organize travel itineraries, assist with sales and marketing plans, and even prepare detailed comparison tables, empowering users to manage their time more effectively and focus on high-value tasks.

Copilot+PCs elevate the AI PC category, distinguished by NPUs capable of 40 TOPS (Trillion Operations Per Second) or more. This measure of total maximum achievable throughput enables Copilot+PCs to deliver an even more advanced Copilot experience, unlocking features that require sophisticated artificial intelligence, such as instant translation. These capabilities promise enhanced speed, performance, extended battery life, and a versatile hybrid working system that operates seamlessly both in the cloud and locally. Moreover, Copilot+PCs are highly suitable for companies looking to develop and integrate third-party applications.

Delaying the computer renewal process can lead to significant financial and functional losses over time. By embracing Windows 11 Pro new devices, businesses can ensure continuity, maintain peak productivity, and leverage cutting-edge technology without the apprehension of technical setbacks.

Ronan Smyth, Director CEMA DPS GTM and MEA DPS Sales, highlights a significant shift in enterprise technology. By 2026, AI-powered PCs are projected to account for half of all Windows PC shipments—signaling a profound shift in enterprise technology strategy. We are no longer anticipating the AI era; we are operating within it. Copilot+ PCs represent more than just a hardware upgrade—they embody a new philosophy of productivity. By intelligently managing time and automating routine tasks, these devices empower professionals to focus on what truly drives value: innovation, decision-making, and strategic execution.
