TCSPEnd of Support – Windows 10
Support for Windows 10 is ending soon in October 2025 and devices will no longer get security and feature updates. Older devices can be less secure so delaying upgrades could be costly to your business. Ensure your organization stays protected and productive with all the latest security and feature updates with Windows 11 Pro, including Copilot your personal AI assistant.
Bad actors continue to increase, and today’s PCs offer better hardware, firmware, and OS security.
Why upgrade now
Allow ample time to plan, ensure a smooth transition, and improve life for your IT staff and employees.
Don’t miss out
Windows 11 Pro offers AI-powered productivity, out-of-the box security, and cost-efficient management. It’s the best Windows yet.
I would recommend Windows 11 Pro to any business for its improved security features and ease of use. It’s a no-brainer way to keep our business devices secure, and it was such an easy transition.
Upgrade to Windows 11 Pro today—it’s easy
Powerful new capabilities and familiar tools
Windows 11 offers a range of powerful new features and capabilities, including enhanced security, faster deployment, and improved performance.
Upgrading to Windows 11 from Windows 10 allows you to leverage these new capabilities to save time and money, protect your business, and empower employees—all with the same familiar tools and processes to manage both operating systems.
Windows Autopilot accelerates deployment with zero-touch provisioning using Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft Intune.
I really like that it’s easy to set up new devices. It’s easy to enroll all the security rules we need to have. It’s easy to see the status of all our devices so we don’t need to spend a lot of time managing our own IT.

What are the Windows 11 hardware requirements?
Before purchasing a new computer with Windows 11 or upgrading a computer to Windows 11, users are advised to review the Windows 11 minimum hardware requirements. However, are these minimum requirements enough to carry your day-to-day business tasks? Most likely not.
It is important to understand that minimum requirements are specified to execute a particular task, Windows 11 in this case. What does this mean? It means Windows 11 minimum requirements will ensure that your computer can run Windows 11, but it will not take into account performance and/or other third-party applications (E.g. QuickBooks, Outlook, MS Excel).
Based on TCSP‘s experience, we have created a basic table with Windows 11 recommended requirements for Business Users and Advanced Users. Since every business runs slightly different, the mentioned recommendations could change.
