Windows 10 has served us well, but time is running out as we are almost into our final year before support for this platform retires 14th October 2025. Therefore, for business users, it is time to start planning upgrades to Windows 11.
These enhancements increase productivity and make your workstation experience.
Not all current workstations can run Windows 11. Here are the basic hardware requirements:
To check whether your workstation is Windows 11 compatible, simply run the ‘PC Health Check’ tool from the Search bar. Alternatively, for those customers with workstations covered by a Symetri IT Support contract, Symetri can provide you with an asset list which shows which workstations are Windows 11 compatible, along with their warranty status and hardware EOL and EOSL dates to help make the decision easier. If your workstation doesn’t meet these requirements, then consider upgrading.
