Now that it's been five months, things are starting to look better for Microsoft's latest brainchild.
According to a new Riverbed research, the systems of over two million enterprise devices were examined to determine their readiness for Windows 11.
Despite the fact that everyone has ample time to acclimate, the operating system's device requirements continue to make migration difficult for many businesses.
If you've been wondering what's keeping folks from upgrading to Windows 11, your query is now answered.
Sure, some people persist with older versions of the OS out of pride or fear of the unknown, but the main reason is still hardware upgrades.
According to a recent research, nearly one-fifth of all PCs, or 19.45 percent, still lack the minimum 64GB storage need.
Another one in every five devices (20.75%) still fails to match the TPM requirements for the upgrade.
Due to the lack of TPM 2.0, half of those, or 10.04 percent, will need to be replaced totally. As a result, these workstations are likely to be powered by Ryzen 1000 series or Intel 6th/7th generation and earlier processors.
Less than one out of every four office PCs, or 22.29 percent, can be upgraded to Windows 11, and nearly half of those, or 12.23 percent, will require total replacement.
The study's publisher also affirms that:
Prior to a Windows 11 migration, businesses must plan ahead and do a complete analysis of their device fleet.
Before a wider rollout of Windows 11, it's also a good idea to do some in-depth testing of programme performance.
Don't forget about the impact of regular OS updates on device and application performance, and keep flexibility in mind.
