Windows 10 reached end of support in October 2025, which means no more security updates. If you're still on Windows 10, you need to upgrade to Windows 11 — but the upgrade isn't always simple. North Ridgeville Computer Services handles the entire Windows 11 upgrade process for you, start to finish.
Why Upgrade to Windows 11?
- Security updates. Windows 10 no longer gets security patches. That's a big deal — new vulnerabilities are being discovered all the time.
- Modern features. Better search, improved Start menu, snap layouts, better battery life on laptops, and more.
- Compatibility. New software is increasingly Windows 11-only.
- It's free for most computers if you already have Windows 10.
The Catch: Not Every Computer Can Upgrade
Windows 11 has strict hardware requirements. Your computer needs:
- A compatible 64-bit processor (some 8th generation Intel and newer, some Ryzen chips and newer)
- 4GB of RAM minimum (8GB strongly recommended)
- 64GB of storage minimum
- TPM 2.0 (a security chip that many older computers don't have)
- UEFI BIOS with Secure Boot
- DirectX 12 compatible graphics
If your computer doesn't meet these requirements, there are workarounds — or it may be time for a new computer. We'll tell you honestly which applies to you.
