What Businesses Need to Know
Big changes are coming for Windows computers! On October 14, 2025, Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10. That means no more updates, no security fixes, and more risks for businesses using old computers.
At Covenant, we want to help businesses like yours stay safe, productive, and prepared for the future. Upgrading to Windows 11 now will help keep your company secure and running smoothly.
Why You Should Care About Windows 10 Going Away
Some businesses may think, “Our computers will still work, so why upgrade?” The problem is that old computers won’t get important security updates, making them easier for hackers to attack.
- More Security Risks – Without updates, viruses and hackers can steal data or shut down your systems.
- Legal Problems – Some businesses must follow rules to keep customer information safe.
- Slower Computers – New programs may not work well on older systems, causing delays and frustration.
If businesses wait too long, they might end up paying more to fix security problems or replace computers in a hurry.
Rising Costs & Supply Chain Challenges
In addition to security and performance concerns, there’s another pressing reason to plan your upgrade now: hardware prices are going up.
Global trade policies, supply chain disruptions, and increased demand are making it more expensive to buy new computers. Businesses that wait too long could face:
- Higher prices on laptops and workstations due to tariffs and material shortages
- Longer wait times for orders, making last-minute upgrades difficult
- Limited availability of Windows 11 for compatible devices as companies rush to replace outdated systems
Delaying your transition could mean paying significantly more for the same devices—or worse, being stuck with limited options when you need them most.
Planning ahead ensures your business gets the right technology at the best price, without scrambling when supplies become scarce.
Let’s start mapping out your upgrade strategy today.
Why Windows 11 is Better for Your Business
Windows 11 isn’t just new—it’s better for work and security.
- Stronger Security – Windows 11 blocks more cyber threats, keeping your business safe.
- Faster & Smoother – Computers start faster and run better with Windows 11.
- Easier Teamwork – Microsoft Teams is built in, making remote work simpler.
- Smart Features – New AI tools, like Microsoft Copilot, help get work done faster.
Some Older Computers Won’t Work with Windows 11
Not all computers can upgrade! Windows 11 requires newer hardware, including something called TPM 2.0, which helps protect your data.
- If your computers are older, they might need to be replaced.
- Waiting too long could mean higher costs as supplies run out.
At Covenant Technology Solutions, we can check your devices and help you find the best solution—whether that means upgrading or replacing them.
