Windows 11, the newest iteration of Microsoft’s operating system, is ready for deployment by organizations. But is your organization ready for Windows 11? The end of life for Windows 10 — Oct. 14, 2025 — will be here soon enough, and Windows 11 comes with new software and hardware requirements along with important changes to its user interface. The time to prepare for a transition to Windows 11 is now.

Let Vanguard Computers work with you on this transition. We will complete an inventory of hardware and software that must be made prior to an upgrade. Compliance with directives may also include updating software bills of materials to include Windows 11 and changed or updated hardware, software or firmware components.

The cost of Windows 11 upgrades ranges from free to a price set according to an organization’s relationship with Microsoft, perhaps via federal, state or other contract entities. These costs must be understood prior to an upgrade plan deployment. Many individuals and organizations have already gone through upgrades successfully with little or no workflow interruption. Deliberate upgrades are approached with a rollout plan and compatibility testing.

Windows 11 training time is short and unlikely to warrant training expenditures. Not much has changed between Windows 10 and 11. User and admin customization choices are in similar places and use a comparable user interface. Most customization choices are retained during an upgrade, and changes are made in a familiar way.

At Vanguard Computers, we thrive on the changing demands of technology, and we can help you select and procure the best productivity solutions for your organization. We are experts in the State & Local Government marketplace, and we know how to help you succeed.
