The landscape of business technology is shifting, with a significant number of enterprises poised to embrace Windows 11. However, a recent survey conducted by ControlUp reveals that many organizations remain hesitant to make the transition. Analyzing over 750,000 Windows endpoints, the research indicates that while 88% of businesses are technically equipped to upgrade, a notable 82% have yet to take the plunge. Among those still on Windows 10, 11% will require complete hardware replacements, while a mere 1% can manage with an upgrade.

Time to Upgrade?

The urgency for businesses to consider this upgrade is underscored by the impending end-of-life deadline for Windows 10 services, which is now less than a year away. After October 14, 2025, Microsoft will cease to provide critical updates, including security patches and technical support for Windows 10. This could expose users to various security vulnerabilities if they choose to remain on the outdated system. Only those utilizing the Windows 10 LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel) version will continue to receive updates post-deadline, albeit at a higher cost.

Compounding the situation is the current market dominance of Windows 10, which, as of July 2024, holds a commanding 64.99% market share compared to Windows 11’s 30.83%. While Microsoft does offer free upgrades from Windows 10 to Windows 11, organizations must ensure their devices meet specific hardware requirements to qualify for this transition.

Interestingly, the rise of more advanced hardware in recent years may facilitate Microsoft’s efforts to encourage users to adopt Windows 11, as older devices are gradually phased out in favor of newer systems. Simon Townsend, Field CTO of ControlUp, emphasizes the critical nature of this transition: “The clock is ticking for enterprises to adopt the more secure and capable Windows 11, yet many organizations are stuck, unsure about their environment’s readiness. But doing nothing is not an option. With more than four in five devices still needing to make the switch, now is the time to fully assess Windows 11 readiness to ensure a seamless transition with less downtime and disruption.”
