Transitioning Your School to Windows 11 before October 2025

Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 will reach its end of life in October 2025. This means your school must begin transitioning devices to Windows 11 to remain compliant with DfE standards and ensure continued security and support.

While Windows 10 will still work after this date, Microsoft will stop providing security updates, bug fixes, and technical support. Using outdated software creates major cyber security risks and could harm your school’s efficiency.

For some schools, upgrading to Windows 11 may just be a software update. However, many devices won’t be compatible and will need replacing. To avoid last-minute pressure on IT teams and budgets, it’s crucial to assess which devices need upgrading and plan ahead before October 2025. Failing to do so could leave your school vulnerable to cyber threats, malware, compliance risks, and expensive fixes.

The Transition to Windows 11

1. Assess Your Devices – Not all hardware works with Windows 11. Conduct an audit to identify which devices need upgrading and which need replacing.
2. Get Quotes – Plan by gathering quotes for new devices that fit your budget and needs.
3. Plan Your Transition – Schedule updates during breaks or roll out in phases to minimise disruption.
4. Roll Out – Update compatible devices and replace outdated hardware.
5. You’re Good to Go – Your upgraded devices will meet DfE standards, boosting security and supporting a smooth learning experience.
