Windows 11 Adoption Is Soaring – Is It Time for Your Business to Upgrade?

Still clinging to Windows 10 in your business? Now might be the perfect time to make the move to Windows 11.

With Windows 11’s market share reaching 35.55% in October 2024, adoption is at an all-time high. While Windows 10 still holds around 60.97% of the market, its days are numbered—and there are some strong reasons to consider upgrading.

Windows 10 Support Is Ending

The biggest reason to switch? From 14th October 2025, Windows 10 will no longer receive free updates from Microsoft. While it won’t stop working, it will no longer get critical security patches, leaving your business vulnerable to cyber threats.

Microsoft will offer extended security updates for an extra year, but at a cost of $30 (~£23) per device—and that’s only a short-term fix.

Why More Businesses Are Switching to Windows 11

So, what’s driving the recent surge in Windows 11 adoption?

The rise of AI-powered PCs – Newer hardware is being designed to support AI features, making Windows 11 a natural fit.

"Windows Intelligence" buzz – Microsoft is rolling out AI-driven features under a potential new brand name.

A better user experience – With customisable widgets and an improved File Explorer, Windows 11 helps you work more efficiently.

Stronger security – Enhanced protections help defend against cyber threats like:

Ransomware – Malicious software that locks your files and demands a ransom to (possibly) restore access.

Phishing attacks – Deceptive emails and websites designed to steal sensitive information.

Is It Time to Upgrade?

If you’re considering holding on to Windows 10 a little longer, Microsoft’s one-year extension might buy you some time. But delaying the switch means missing out on the latest innovations and leaving your business at greater risk.
