You don’t have to upgrade to Windows 11. 

That’s the good news. 

The bad news? If you don’t, your business is about to enter a slow, painful spiral into cyber vulnerability and operational chaos. 

Right now, people are calling Microsoft’s move “tech extortion.” Upgrade your PC or lose access to the operating system that runs your business. Sounds dramatic, right? It is. But also… it’s true. 

You could flip the table, install Linux, and go rogue. Add a desktop manager, slap on some open-source polish, and boom—it almost feels like Windows. 

Almost. 

Until you try to share files with someone who is on Windows. Or open a Word doc. Or connect to your line-of-business software. Suddenly, “free and open source” starts costing you in hours and headaches. 

Why? Because operating systems have a network effect. If you’re not running what everyone else is running, you’re not running a business. You’re running an experiment. 

And experiments don’t get security patches. 

You see where this is going. 

If your computers are more than four years old, you’re facing three choices: 

  1. Upgrade your hardware and move on with your life.
  2. Waste your team’s time duct-taping outdated machines into barely-functional zombies.
  3. Keep using unsupported software and wait for a hacker to walk through your unlocked front door.

Let me guess—you don’t love any of those. But one of them leads to courtrooms and insurance denials. The others don’t. 

Apple does the same thing, by the way. They just call it “a new iOS update.” Subtle. But the endgame is the same: buy new gear or get left behind. 

Here’s the kicker. You probably have a few unsupported devices already. Most businesses do. They’re hiding in plain sight, quietly creating exposure. But you won’t find them unless you look. 

That’s where we come in. 

We’ll run a Level 1 Pen Test on your environment and tell you exactly what’s vulnerable. What’s old. What’s unsupported. And what will get your cyber insurance claim denied faster than you can say “ransomware.” 

Let’s stop pretending your 2017 laptop is “still fine.” 

It’s not. It’s a liability.
