Preparing For the Upgrade

  1. Assess Current Systems : Identify devices that meet Windows 11’s more robust hardware requirements-most Windows 10 devices will not, so plan to replace most of those PCs.
  2. Plan the Upgrade: To greatly reduce productivity disruption for your staff, plan your upgrade. Test a small batch of PCs first to ensure your upgrade plan works before rolling it out to all your PCs.
  3. A Phased Approach: A structured rollout reduces downtime. Some departments may have more complex PCs or require less downtime. Schedule and plan the upgrade accordingly.
  4. Training: Train staff with the Windows 11 new features in advance for quicker adoption. You want your staff to fully understand both the changes and the many new features so they can quickly take advantage of the benefits and increase productivity immediately.
  5. Work with Experts: Engage with an experienced MSP so you have a smoother upgrade. At ISM, we have already upgraded most of our clients and have planned projects for those remaining. The upgrade is not easy, and we already have the expertise and experience required to ensure a smooth upgrade.

What Are You Waiting For?

Why risk productivity disruptions, security risks and higher prices. The increase in US tariffs is raising hardware and software prices by as much as 20 – 40 % by the end of the year. Economic uncertainty, rising PC prices and a rush to buy before the October deadline all signal greatly reduced supplies between now and the end of the year.
