Windows 10 End of Support: Upgrade to Windows 11 with Lake Area Tech

Mark your calendars! On October 14, 2025, Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10. This means no more security updates, patches, or support for the operating system millions of users rely on daily. While Windows 10 has been a solid workhorse, it’s time to look ahead to the next chapter: Windows 11.


At Lake Area Tech, LLC, we’re here to make your transition seamless and stress-free. Whether you need help upgrading your current device or setting up a brand-new machine, our team has you covered.


Why You Should Upgrade to Windows 11

Windows 11 offers a fresh, modern interface and improved functionality designed to enhance productivity and user experience. With features like:

  • Enhanced Security: Advanced protection against modern threats.
  • Streamlined Interface: A more intuitive and visually appealing design.
  • Improved Performance: Faster load times and better battery efficiency.
  • Support for Advanced Hardware: Compatibility with the latest technologies for a future-proof system.


Windows 11 System Requirements

Before upgrading, it’s essential to ensure your current device meets the requirements for Windows 11.


Here’s what you need:

  1. Processor: 1 GHz or faster with at least 2 cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or system on a chip (SoC).
  2. RAM: 4 GB or more.
  3. Storage: 64 GB or more.
  4. System Firmware: UEFI, Secure Boot capable.
  5. TPM: Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0.

  7. Display: High definition (720p) display, greater than 9” diagonal.
  8. Internet Connection: An active connection is required for updates and certain features.


If your current computer doesn’t meet these requirements, don’t worry. We can help you choose and set up a new machine that’s fully optimized for Windows 11. Still unsure? Use the PC Health Check App at the bottom of this blog to check your machine.
