Windows 10’s End of Life (EoL) is slated for October 14th, 2025. After this date, it will no longer be supported, and businesses are expected to upgrade to Windows 11; however, this upgrade is entirely unlike previous Windows upgrades in that strict hardware requirements are needed to support Windows 11. The transition from Windows 10 to Windows 11 represents a major inflection point for enterprise IT and SecOps, the hardware requirements are there to help with overall cybersecurity, as Windows moves from a primarily software security model to a best-of-both-worlds hardware and software model. In this blog post we discuss in detail the benefits of such upgrade through Intel vPro®. This work is part of the research IOActive published in a recent white paper, which was commissioned by Intel®.
