Windows 11 Deadline: Is Your NHS Trust Ready?

As the mandatory transition to Windows 11 approaches on the 14th October 2025, is your NHS Trust prepared? 

As your NHS trust transitions to Windows 11, you may be facing several challenges…

• Outdated Hardware: Many NHS devices, especially laptops distributed during the COVID-19 lockdown, are now outdated and may not meet the hardware requirements for Windows 11.
• Cybersecurity Concerns: With Windows 10 no longer receiving security updates after 14th October 2025, there is a risk of increased cybersecurity vulnerabilities if the transition to Windows 11 is not completed in time.
• Budget Constraints: The NHS capital budget has not grown to accommodate the need for new hardware and software upgrades, making it challenging to fund the transition.
• Legacy IT Systems: The NHS has long struggled with outdated and malfunctioning IT systems, which can hinder the smooth transition to a new operating system.
• Operational Disruption: Upgrading to Windows 11 requires careful planning to minimise disruption to healthcare services and ensure continuity of care.
• Tenant Challenges: There are subtle differences in the way Windows 11 can be deployed and the services you can configure should your organisation have its own Microsoft 365 tenant or whether it sits in the central tenant.

If these challenges sound familiar, SCC are here to help.
