Ready or Not Here Comes Windows 11

Beginning October 5th, Microsoft will officially start to release Windows 11. There are some very specific hardware requirements necessary to be able to upgrade to Windows 11. You can check whether your pc meets those requirements by running this application: https://aka.ms/GetPCHealthCheckApp When you launch the app, it might be a bit before you see anything further on your screen. If your PC is a few years old, it likely will not meet the requirements to be able to upgrade to a fully supported version of Windows 11.

Support for Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025. After that, it will continue to work, but will not receive any updates from Microsoft. Over time, support for devices and applications running on Windows 10 will also erode just as has happened for Windows 7, Windows XP, and other old Windows versions.

Beginning very soon, any new PCs will come with Windows 11. Even if you are able to upgrade your current computer to Windows 11, it is wise not do that immediately, giving time for Windows 11 to “mature”. Furthermore, never upgrade without making sure all your backups are current and confirming with the vendor that your critical applications and devices will run on Windows 11.
