If you’re still using Windows 10 or, dare we say it, something even older — your computer’s days of regular updates and support are numbered. Microsoft has officially announced that support for Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025. That may seem like plenty of time, but considering how dependent we are on our devices for work, learning, and life in general, making the move to Windows 11 now means you’ll be ahead of the curve.

Operating systems that no longer receive updates become magnets for security threats. Without patches and updates, even the best antivirus can’t protect you from new vulnerabilities. If you’re using an unsupported system, you’re essentially driving a car that can’t be repaired when something goes wrong.

Windows 11 isn’t just a necessary upgrade for security — it's a leap forward in functionality, speed, and productivity.

What makes Windows 11 different? One word: Copilot.

Built into the heart of Windows 11, Copilot is an AI-powered assistant that’s changing how we interact with our PCs. It helps with everything from summarizing long documents and generating creative content, to quickly tweaking settings and even writing code. If you’ve ever wished your computer could just “do the thing” you’re trying to describe — Copilot is your new best friend.

But here’s where it gets even better: with Copilot+ PCs, Windows 11 takes the AI experience to a whole new level. These devices are equipped with an NPU — a dedicated AI processor, specifically designed to handle AI tasks locally, making your experience smoother, faster, and more secure.

If your current laptop isn’t up to snuff for Windows 11 or Copilot+, this is the perfect time to upgrade to a device that’s built for it.

Switching to a new operating system is the perfect excuse to treat yourself to a fresh device — and the ASUS Vivobook series delivers everything you need to make the most of Windows 11, including Copilot+ capabilities.

Take a look at the powerful but affordable ASUS Vivobook S14 or the ASUS Vivobook S16, for example. These sleek laptops combine stylish design with high performance. Both are powered by cutting-edge Snapdragon® X X1 processors, which are ready for Copilot+ and AI-powered features. Whether you're multitasking at work, studying, or just casually browsing, these laptops make every task feel effortless. The S14 is perfect if you value compact portability, and the S16 offers a larger display if you want extra screen real estate for creative work or immersive streaming.

The ASUS Vivobook 14 and ASUS Vivobook 16 are also worth a close look. These Vivobook models strike a great balance between performance and value, making them ideal for students, families, or for any casual user looking to step into the Windows 11 world. Both have vibrant displays, reliable Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 processor (Series 2), and ultra-responsive SSD storage ― providing everything you need without breaking the bank.

Or, for those who want a device that can handle heavy creative workloads or some light gaming, the ASUS V16 is a great choice. It includes up to an Intel® Core™ 7 processor and up to a powerful NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4050 Laptop GPU.

One of the biggest concerns people have when upgrading an operating system is losing their files, apps, or familiar setup. Luckily, Microsoft has made the transition from older versions of Windows to Windows 11 as smooth as possible. Many apps are fully compatible, and if you're using Microsoft 365 or OneDrive, your data and documents can move with you seamlessly.

Windows 11 also has a more intuitive design, featuring a centered Start menu (if you prefer, you can adjust its placement), rounded corners, and Snap Layouts that make multitasking easier than ever. Windows 11 also gives you more control over how your desktop looks and functions, enabling extensive customization. Overall, its clean, modern interface looks great and feels natural ― pairing perfectly with the fast response times and vivid displays on ASUS Vivobook laptops.

Upgrading to Windows 11 isn’t just about staying current ― it’s also about staying safe, working smarter, and getting more out of your computer every day. Pairing this modern OS with a dependable laptop like the ASUS Vivobook series ensures that you’re not only ready for what’s next — you’re ready to thrive. Whether you’re a student, a remote worker, or a casual user, there’s an ASUS Vivobook that fits your lifestyle and budget.
