Is Your Organisation Ready for the End of Windows 10?
How to ensure your device is ready for Windows 11 - Windows 10 support ends this October (2025)!
Check out this quick video linked here, made by our business development manager, Andrew Wright (thanks again!), to find out how to check if your device can upgrade to Windows 11 and continue receiving full support. - https://www.icex.co.uk/videos/v/how-to-make-sure-your-device-is-suitable-for-windows-11
When Windows 10 support ends later this year, many devices will become obsolete. Microsoft has warned that:
“Installing Windows 11 on a device that doesn't meet Windows 11 minimum system requirements isn't recommended. If Windows 11 is installed on ineligible hardware, your device won't receive support from Microsoft, and you should be comfortable assuming the risk of running into compatibility issues.
“Devices that don't meet these system requirements might malfunction due to compatibility or other issues. Additionally, these devices aren't guaranteed to receive updates, including but not limited to security updates.”
At ICEX GROUP, we focus on security and sustainability. Given this, we strongly recommend upgrading to Windows 11 before the Windows 10 end-of-life (EOL) for security reasons.
We also see this as an opportunity for ITAD (IT Asset Disposal/Disposition) and STARR (Secure Technology Asset Revival and/or Relocation) service providers. (ICEX GROUP is both an ITAD and a STARR, by the way.) Many companies may face budget issues when upgrading hardware for Windows 11 compatibility. This can lead to corners being cut, increasing e-waste, which pollutes the environment and harms communities.
If you have any ideas for improving efficiency or want to collaborate on managing this transition without contributing to landfill e-waste, please get in touch. (0% of all equipment we process ends up in landfill—while we can't guarantee our entire supply chain, we prioritise working with responsible partners.)
For your Windows 10 EOL and Windows 11 upgrade needs, always choose a certified ITAD (and STARR) provider. We believe ICEX GROUP is a solid choice ;)
For anything related to IT Asset lifecycle management, feel free to reach out. We’d love to discuss how we can help IT departments balance sustainability, security standards and their budgets - so reach out today!
