It's a fact that computers generate heat. From the laptop fan whirring away on your desk to the massive arrays of servers powering cloud computing and AI, these machines require cooling to function optimally. As our reliance on the cloud expands, however, the sheer scale of this cooling requirement is transforming into a significant environmental and financial burden.

You might want to get as much life as possible out of your technology, but this is often counterproductive. While it might cost serious capital to invest in new computers and servers, even when your current equipment works “just fine,” there will come a day when “just fine” doesn’t cut it anymore.

It’s a conversation that’s not just worth having; it’s essential.

October 14th will be here before you know it, and when that happens, Windows 10 will no longer be safe to use. Without extreme and expensive measures in place, almost every threat will have nothing to stop it.

In short, you need to prioritize your migration to Windows 11 to ensure you aren’t facing severe challenges.
