Are you so attached to Windows 10 that you’re willing to risk security breaches, compliance failures, increased down time and all the IT maintenance costs that follow?
With Windows 10 support ending October 2025, many businesses are asking: is it worth upgrading to Windows 11 Pro?
The answer is yes.
Not just because it’s the newer system. Windows 11 Pro brings real, measurable improvements across speed, security, and ease of use. Paired with Simply NUC computing devices, it gives your business the kind of performance that helps people get more done, with less friction.
Here are the top five reasons the upgrade to Windows 11 makes sense.
1. It’s faster and more responsive
Windows 11 Pro is built to run smarter. From boot times to heavy multitasking, everything just moves more smoothly. In fact, businesses upgrading have seen:
- 42% faster completion of demanding workloads
- 50% improvement in workflow speeds
That means less time waiting and more time doing. Combine that with the performance and reliability of Simply NUC hardware, and you’ve got systems that actually keep up with the pace of your workday.
2. AI features that quietly help your team
Windows 11 Pro includes a range of AI-powered features that support productivity without getting in the way. Snap layouts make multitasking easier, the Start menu adapts to how you work, and system-level AI tools help with everything from search to focus.
The changes are subtle, but they add up to a smoother user experience, especially for teams juggling multiple applications and projects at once.
3. Security that starts from the inside
With threats becoming more sophisticated, see the UK retail giant Marks and Spencer’s recent cybersecurity breach, which could cost them £300 million.
Businesses need protection that’s built-in, not bolted on. Windows 11 Pro comes with advanced security features right out of the box, including hardware-based isolation, ransomware protection, and enhanced phishing safeguards.
The results speak for themselves: companies moving to Windows 11 Pro reported a 62% drop in security incidents. It’s peace of mind that doesn’t rely on patchwork fixes.
4. Managing devices is simpler
IT teams have enough to juggle already. Windows 11 Pro makes things easier with streamlined update tools, better remote management options, and improved compatibility with tools like Microsoft Intune and Azure Active Directory.
Pair that with Simply NUC’s flexible device configurations, and you’ve got a fleet that’s easier to deploy, monitor, and maintain, whether you’re managing five devices or five hundred.
5. It works with what you already have
Upgrading doesn’t mean starting from scratch. Windows 11 Pro is designed to support the apps and platforms your team already depends on. And if your existing hardware can’t take full advantage, Simply NUC can help you explore right-sized upgrades that deliver better value and long-term flexibility.
