Windows 10 Support is Ending – Are Your Systems Ready?

With Microsoft officially ending support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, organizations still relying on outdated systems will face security risks, compliance challenges, and increased operational costs. If your enterprise manages multiple locations, large teams, or legacy hardware, delaying Windows 11 upgrades is not an option.

Upgrading to Windows 11 ensures better security, improved performance, and continued software compatibility, but not all systems meet the requirements. Many desktops, laptops, servers, and POS systems require hardware upgrades or full replacements.

Why You Can’t Afford to Wait

If you're still utilizing Windows 10, make plans to migrate to Windows 11 as soon as possible. Risks of not upgrading include:

• End of Security Updates – No more patches means increased risk of cyber threats.
• Software Compatibility Issues – New applications and updates will favor Windows 11.
• No Performance & Stability Gains – Windows 11 is optimized for modern hardware and workflows.
• Compliance & Regulation Issues – Outdated systems may fail security audits.
• Supply Chain Delays – Waiting too long could mean long lead times for necessary upgrades.

Software, Hardware, Deployments, and Installations

A successful Windows 11 upgrade may require more than just a software update—many systems will need hardware upgrades or replacements to meet compatibility requirements.

Whether it's firmware updates, new devices, staging services, or a full deployment strategy, navigating these requirements can be complex. TDX Tech's experts are here to help, from discovery and assessment to designing a custom upgrade solution that ensures your infrastructure is ready for the future.

5-Step Process to Determine Windows 11 Compatibility

Upgrading starts with knowing which systems are and aren’t compatible. Follow this process to assess your IT environment:

1. Run a Compatibility Scan – Use a scan utility to help you assess whether your systems are ready for Window 11. See our link below to view our list of available utilities.
2. Review TPM & Secure Boot – Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot; older devices may need firmware updates or replacements.
3. Check Processor & RAM Requirements – Systems need a compatible CPU and at least 4GB RAM—8GB+ is recommended.
4. Assess Storage & Disk Type – Windows 11 performs best on SSDs with at least 64GB of space.
5. Plan for Hardware Upgrades – If systems don’t meet requirements, create an upgrade roadmap for replacements, migrations, or cloud alternatives.
