Windows 11 Refresh: Dell And Microsoft Leading The Way

Enhanced security, improved productivity and cost savings are just some of the reasons why the Windows 11 refresh with Dell is so critical. The clock is ticking for this upgrade, and experts are urging their customers to make the switch now to ensure long-term success.

Lisa Schaub, partner development manager, US Dell client solutions, emphasizes the importance of prioritizing devices that are ineligible to move to Windows 11. “Partners, please work with your customers and make sure that we are refreshing the devices first that are ineligible to move to Windows 11. Before the end of support date, this ensures devices remain secure and efficient.”

With Windows 10 EOS (End of Support) looming in October 2025, it’s crucial to evaluate current systems and upgrade as soon as possible. Without regular updates, vulnerabilities can arise, leading to evolving cyber threats, malware, potential data theft and unwanted disruptions. Schaub warns, “Additionally, firms might have compliance challenges and higher maintenance costs for outdated infrastructure.”

Upgrading to Windows 11 not only enhances security but also leads to significant cost savings and efficiency gains. Schaub highlights the impressive return on investment, stating, “New Windows 11 PCs also offer a 250 percent return on investment. Reduced help desk calls, improved productivity, again, security being number one with easy deployment.”

AI is also top of mind with the new operating system, featuring an intuitive interface, smart search and seamless integration with Microsoft 365. These advancements ensure that businesses can operate more efficiently and securely in the modern digital landscape.
