Benefits of a Windows 11 Upgrade
-
Windows 10 End of Support
- Some versions of the Windows 10 Operating System will soon become unsupported by Microsoft.
- On October 14th 2025, Windows 10 will no longer be supported and the current version 22H2 will be the final version of Windows 10.Even though once this version of Windows becomes unsupported, it will still continue to work on your computer but will become more exposed to security risks and viruses. We recommend you change all your current PC’s and laptops to the new Windows 11.
- When software gets to a certain age, the manufacturer ceases to create and send out patches or security updates. At this point, the software is classed as ‘legacy’ or ‘end of life’ as it is no longer supported and therefore no longer secure to use.

Case Study
Amaro Group
Amaro Group is a leading provider of specialist signalling, overhead line equipment and low and high voltage distribution support solutions to the UK rail industry. The company needed to decouple from a shared IT infrastructure and create its own network. This needed to take into account the agile nature of the company’s management and workforce operations. Managing Director Michael Ewart was keen to switch from its existing on-premise solution to the cloud. “We had a server failure down in Strood and at that point I said to Avoira I wanted rid and to go cloud-based and use Microsoft 365”.
“If we have a problem with a laptop, Avoira’s engineers can log-in remotely, diagnose the issue and 20 minutes later they’ve fixed the problem.”
– Michael Ewart, Managing Director for Amaro Group.
