Windows 11 remains a free upgrade from Windows 10 and Microsoft has announced that they will continue to support Windows 10 until October 2025. As always, your best bet is to thoroughly test all critical applications on Windows 11, including a test of important websites, before pushing the changes out to all workstations.
Waiting until the newer version is a little more mature also reduces the likelihood of bugs and instability, which is attractive for organisations with a lower risk tolerance. For those with less reliance on specialist software tools, the decision to upgrade their fleets can be approached with more flexibility.
