Imagine it's Monday morning. You turn on your computer and everything seems normal... until a malicious email opens by itself. Suddenly, your most important files disappear and your programs stop working. It's an attack. The reason is simple: your operating system no longer receives support or security updates, leaving it defenseless against cybercriminals. The damage is real: in a matter of hours, you could suffer data loss, operational paralysis, and huge financial losses, all because you are operating with vulnerable equipment.
This nightmare scenario is not a fictional story. With the end of support for Windows 10 approaching, it is a reality for millions of users. Microsoft has confirmed that Tuesday, October 14, 2025, will be the deadline for receiving updates and official support.
Despite having been the dominant operating system for years, Windows 10 now accounts for about 46% of the global market, while Windows 11 has already surpassed 49% market share. After the expiration date, it will be necessary to upgrade to Windows 11 to continue receiving support for key services such as Microsoft 365 and, most importantly, critical security updates.
Ignoring this transition not only leaves your equipment unprotected, but also affects the security, productivity, and continuity of your operation. Each computer becomes more vulnerable to attacks, data loss, and failures without a quick solution. This can lead to disruptions, increased support costs, and damage to your company's reputation.
In addition, Windows 10 devices will no longer be compatible with new key applications and services, which could cause businesses to fall behind. This is not just an update: it is a strategic decision to protect the information and digital heart of your business. It is estimated that 240 million personal computers will become obsolete because they do not meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11, forcing millions of users to replace them.
How can you handle this transition without disrupting your operations?
Migrating to Windows 11 doesn't have to be a race against time. The real challenge is doing it in an organized way, without interrupting daily work and ensuring that all devices are protected. This is where a tool like Aranda Device Management (ADM) comes in, simplifying the process by dividing it into two clear and straightforward phases:
Hardware Inventory: The Key to Knowing Where to Start
Before making any changes, you need to know which computers in your company are ready for migration. It's like making a checklist: which ones meet the requirements? Many Windows 10 computers may need an internal upgrade or, in some cases, replacement. With ADM's Hardware Inventory feature, you can automatically scan and evaluate all computers on your network. This allows you to know exactly which ones are compatible for migration without having to check each one manually, as it verifies the following technical requirements:
- Processor: 1 GHz or faster, with at least 2 cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or SoC.
- RAM: minimum 4 GB
- Storage: 64 GB or more.
- Firmware: UEFI, compatible with Secure Boot.
- TPM: version 2.0.
- Graphics card: compatible with DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 driver.
- Screen: larger than 9" with HD resolution (720p) and 8 bits per color channel.
- Internet connection: required for initial setup and updates.
Software Delivery: The smart way to migrate
Once you know which devices are compatible, the Software Delivery feature kicks in to automate the heavy lifting. ADM allows you to apply the Windows 11 update in bulk and on a scheduled basis.
- Mass deployments: You can apply the update to a large number of computers at once, without having to do it one by one.
- Scheduled installations: Choose the exact time for the process to run, for example, outside of working hours, without affecting productivity.
- Group rollouts: Organize the migration in phases. This allows you to pilot test with a small group of users to ensure everything works correctly before rolling it out to the rest of the company.
With this approach, you ensure that every device receives the update, optimizing administration and ensuring a transition to Windows 11 that is fast, secure, and does not affect your business productivity.
An opportunity to evolve
The end of Windows 10 support is not a threat, but rather a strategic opportunity to modernize your business operations. With Aranda Device Management's capabilities, from hardware inventory to software delivery, you can lead this technological transition efficiently and without interruptions in productivity.
It's more than just an update; it's a key decision for the security, compliance, and competitiveness of your company.
Act today. Protect your operation. Evolve intelligently.
