Thinking About Windows 11? Here's What You Need to Know

Is Windows 11 Right for You?
Not every computer is ready for Windows 11, and that's okay. Let's help you figure out if upgrading makes sense for your situation.
Does my computer meet Windows 11 requirements?
Windows 11 requires specific hardware: a compatible processor (Intel 8th Gen or newer, AMD Ryzen 2000 or newer), TPM 2.0 (a security chip), 4GB RAM, and 64GB storage. Most computers built in the last 5-7 years meet these requirements, but some older systems don't.
We can check your computer's compatibility for free—just give us a call.
Will Windows 11 run well on my older computer?
Windows 11 is designed to run efficiently on modern hardware, but it can feel sluggish on older machines with limited RAM or slower processors. If your computer is 6+ years old and already running slow on Windows 10, Windows 11 may not solve the problem.
A hardware upgrade (more RAM, faster SSD) might be a better investment than upgrading the operating system.
What if my computer doesn't meet requirements?
If your computer doesn't meet Windows 11 requirements, you have a few options: continue using Windows 10 (still secure and supported until 2025), upgrade your hardware to meet Windows 11 specs, or consider a new computer if yours is very old.
We can help you evaluate which option makes the most sense for your budget and needs.
Is the upgrade worth the cost and effort?
Windows 11 offers real benefits: better security features, improved performance on compatible hardware, and modern design. However, the upgrade only makes sense if your computer meets requirements and you want the latest features. If Windows 10 is running fine, there's no urgent need to upgrade.
We recommend upgrading if your computer is compatible and you want the best security and performance going forward.
How long will the upgrade take?
A typical Windows 11 upgrade takes 1-2 business days from drop-off to pickup. The actual installation takes a few hours, but we do thorough testing and verification to ensure everything works perfectly before you get your computer back.
We'll keep you updated throughout the process with photos and calls explaining each step.
Will my programs and data be safe?
Yes. We back up all your data before the upgrade and verify that all your programs and files are intact after Windows 11 is installed. Your documents, photos, email, and installed programs all stay exactly where they are.
We've done hundreds of upgrades without data loss—your safety is our top priority.
The Bottom Line
Windows 11 is a solid upgrade for computers that meet the requirements and users who want the latest security and features. But it's not a magic fix for slow computers, and not every system can run it.
The good news? You don't have to figure this out alone. Freeport Computers will assess your computer's compatibility, explain your options honestly, and help you make the best decision for your situation.
