Why Now Is the Time to Upgrade with HP
Windows 10 End of Support Creates a Strategic Opportunity
On October 14, 2025, Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10. After this date, the operating system will no longer receive security patches or technical fixes. While devices running Windows 10 will still function, they will become increasingly vulnerable, less productive, and more costly to maintain.
For IT leaders, this moment represents more than a standard software update. It’s a turning point—an opportunity to modernize your hardware foundation and position your organization for long-term success. Rather than simply upgrading an operating system, this is the perfect time to invest in enterprise-ready HP devices that deliver productivity, security, and reliability.
The Real Risks of Staying on Windows 10
The temptation to delay upgrading is understandable, but the risks of inaction are clear and unavoidable.
Cybersecurity Exposure
Without ongoing patches, Windows 10 machines will become prime targets for malware, ransomware, and phishing campaigns. Cybercriminals actively exploit known vulnerabilities, and once Microsoft stops releasing fixes, every unpatched system becomes an open door.
Compliance Failures
Many industries—healthcare, education, government, and finance—require systems to be patched and secure to maintain compliance. Running unsupported devices risks failed audits, regulatory penalties, and loss of trust with stakeholders.
Productivity & Workforce Impact
Aging systems drag down productivity. Slow performance, limited compatibility with modern applications, and frequent troubleshooting erode employee efficiency. Workers become frustrated, engagement drops, and organizations risk higher turnover.
Rising IT Costs
Legacy systems consume IT resources. Teams spend more time firefighting and less time innovating. Emergency replacements and escalating support contracts quickly exceed the cost of a planned refresh.
Why Hardware Refresh Matters as Much as the OS
Upgrading to Windows 11 isn’t always as simple as installing software. Many Windows 10 devices will not meet the requirements for Windows 11. Even when they do, their age may mean they lack the performance, security, and reliability your workforce requires.
A planned hardware refresh with the right partner helps ensure:
- Devices are optimized for Windows 11 and future updates.
- Security is built into the hardware, not bolted on later.
- Employees gain faster, more reliable tools designed for hybrid work.
- IT teams manage fewer compatibility issues and simplify their lifecycle management.
Why HP Devices Are the Smart Choice
When evaluating hardware platforms for your refresh there are a lot of options out there. However, HP stands out as a top leader for enterprise and public sector deployments.
Below are the top factors driving IT leaders to select HP laptops and PCs for this essential refresh.
Enterprise Reliability
HP devices are built for scale. From government agencies to school districts to global enterprises, HP delivers dependable laptops and workstations that withstand daily demands while offering consistent performance over their lifecycle.
Security at the Core
HP embeds comprehensive, hardware-enforced security throughout its PC and printer platforms—starting from a self-healing BIOS (Sure Start) to hardware-enforced threat containment and application isolation (Sure Click, Sure Access Enterprise). Its Wolf Security solutions stop threats at the firmware and hardware level, making security foundational, not optional.
Designed for Modern Work
Hybrid work has reshaped expectations. Employees need devices that deliver reliable connectivity, seamless collaboration, and AI-powered tools that make meetings and workflows smoother. HP laptops and workstations are designed to meet those needs head-on, ensuring productivity anywhere work happens.
Sustainable Technology
HP also leads with sustainable design. Devices incorporate recycled materials and energy-efficient engineering, helping organizations meet environmental goals without sacrificing performance.
