This means that the company has stopped updating its functionality, including new features and drivers. However, security updates will be released monthly until October 14, 2025.
In this regard, many have a question: is it worth switching to Windows 11, a newer version of “dozens” of Microsoft operating systems? According to Ferra.ru editor-in-chief Yevgeny Kharitonov, there is no valid reason for refusal.
At the same time, he noted that while the system requirements for Windows 11 may seem moderate, in practice it should be multiplied by two. So, for comfortable work with Windows 11, you will need 8 GB of RAM and a quad-core processor.
Therefore, laptops 2017 and older may not have enough performance to run the new operating system.
All this means one thing – users need to carefully upgrade their computers to upgrade to Windows 11. Considering the system requirements and the recommendations of the experts, it is worth paying attention to have enough RAM, processor and SSD drive to avoid performance problems.
