Your Journey to Windows 11.
Assess. Deploy. Manage.
Support for Windows 10 is ending on 14 October 2025, and the clock is ticking! As this deadline approaches, organisations still relying on Windows 10 face growing risks with eating into budgets and vulnerability.
Microsoft has announced businesses will roughly pay £45 per user per month for the Extended Security Updates (ESUs) for the first year which doubles each subsequent year. Furthermore, without ongoing updates and security patches, systems become susceptible to cyber threats, compliance breaches, and performance degradation. The end of support isn’t just a technical milestone - it’s a business-critical moment.
Acting now is essential. Delaying your transition could lead to increased exposure to ransomware, incompatibility with modern applications, and rising costs from emergency upgrades and reactive support. By planning ahead, you can turn this challenge into an opportunity to modernise your workplace, enhance security, and streamline operations.
To help you navigate this transition with confidence, we’ve developed a proven three-phase approach: Assess. Deploy. Manage.
Let us guide you through a smooth and secure upgrade - ensuring your business stays protected, productive, and future-ready.a
1. Assess.
We'll start by checking if your current devices can run Windows 11. Use Bechtle’s Device Readiness Tool, to receive your personalised report that uncovers:
- Devices already running Windows 11.
- Devices running Windows 10 which are eligible for upgrade to Windows 11.
- Devices that require further investigation to confirm eligibility for running Windows 11.
- Devices that are incapable of running Windows 11, providing an estimated cost for purchasing new devices, Windows 11 ready recycled, or remanufactured devices.
- Costings for Extended Security Updates (ESU).
2. Deploy.
The transition to Windows 11 can be a time-consuming project, absorbing valuable time in BAU workloads.
To make this easier, at Bechtle we can offer seamless configuration options through traditional imaging, or modern deployment. The support includes setup, configuration, and ongoing support to enable a smooth transition, all tailored to meet your business needs.
