What "End of Support" Actually Means

When Microsoft ends support for an operating system, it stops releasing security patches and updates. This means any new vulnerabilities discovered in Windows 10 will never be fixed β€” leaving your system permanently exposed.

This isn't a scare tactic β€” it's exactly what happened with Windows 7 and Windows XP. Cybercriminals specifically target computers running unsupported operating systems because they know those systems will never be patched.

No more security updates or patches
Increasing vulnerability to malware and ransomware
Software vendors will stop supporting Windows 10
Online banking and financial apps may stop working

Windows 11 Is a Solid Upgrade

Free upgrade for compatible hardware
Improved security with TPM 2.0 requirement
Better performance on modern processors
Supported until at least 2031
Your files and most software stays intact

What's Included in the Windows 11 Upgrade

πŸ”

Compatibility Check

We check whether your hardware meets Windows 11 requirements β€” CPU, RAM, storage, TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot. Some older machines need a hardware upgrade first.

πŸ’Ύ

Data Backup First

Before any installation begins, your important files are backed up. Your data is safe throughout the entire process.

πŸͺŸ

Clean Installation

A fresh Windows 11 install is performed β€” not just an in-place upgrade. This avoids carrying over old problems and gives your computer a proper fresh start.

πŸ”§

Drivers & Updates

All device drivers updated for Windows 11 compatibility. Windows updates run to ensure the system is fully patched and current.

πŸ“‚

Data Restored

Your files and documents are restored to the new installation. Your desktop, documents and photos will be exactly where you left them.

⚑

Performance Optimised

Startup optimised, bloatware removed, and system configured properly so your computer runs as well as it possibly can on Windows 11.

Hardware Upgrade Options

If your computer doesn't meet Windows 11's requirements, it doesn't necessarily mean you need a new device. The most common barriers are:

Not enough RAM β€” Windows 11 requires 4GB minimum. Upgrading RAM is often cheap and quick.
Small storage drive β€” Windows 11 needs 64GB+. An SSD upgrade resolves this and makes the PC significantly faster.
TPM 2.0 or Secure Boot disabled β€” Often a BIOS/UEFI setting that Ahmad can enable for you.
CPU too old β€” If the processor genuinely can't run Windows 11, Ahmad will give you honest advice on whether the machine is worth upgrading or replacing.

Windows 11 Upgrade FAQs

Windows 11 is a free upgrade for computers running licensed Windows 10 on compatible hardware. You don't need to purchase a new licence if your current Windows 10 licence is genuine.
No β€” Ahmad backs up all your important files before beginning the installation. After the upgrade, your documents, photos and desktop files are restored to exactly where they were.
Most software that runs on Windows 10 runs on Windows 11. There are occasional compatibility issues with very old programs. Ahmad will advise if any of your key software is a known issue before proceeding.
Typically 2–4 hours for the full process including backup, clean install, drivers, updates and data restore. Ahmad will collect your device and return it the same day or next day in most cases.
