Windows 11 Upgrades

Since Windows 10 reached end of support in October 2025, many clients have approached us for guidance on upgrading to the latest Windows 11 operating system. One of our long-standing engineering clients asked us to assess their aging hardware to determine which machines could support Windows 11 and which would need replacing.

We conducted a thorough review to identify systems that were under-resourced for Windows 11 and carried out the necessary upgrades on those devices. To help the client stay within budget, we developed a plan that combined new hardware purchases with the reuse of existing machines—delivering a cost-effective solution without compromising performance.
