Migration to Windows 11 and adoption of IA PCs

Anticipate the future with Darest

Why migrate to Windows 11 today?

For several months now, Microsoft has been announcing the end of official support for Windows 10, scheduled for October 14, 2025. This means the end of security updates, technical support and patches. For businesses, staying on Windows 10 represents a major risk:

  • Increasing number of security breaches

  • Non-compliance with current standards (RGPD, ISO, NIS2...)

  • Loss of competitiveness and application performance

Migrating to Windows 11 isn't just about meeting a technical requirement, it's about seizing the opportunity to equip your employees with a modern, secure and intelligent environment.

And for companies not ready to migrate? Microsoft offers a subscription to Extended Security Updates (ESU). Darest can support you in this temporary approach to securing your workstations while you plan a long-term migration.

Windows 11 & PC AI: a new generation of performance

The transition to Windows 11 is now accompanied by a real revolution: the arrival of AI PCs. These new machines are equipped with special NPU (Neural Processing Unit) chips, capable of executing artificial intelligence tasks locally, in complete security.

What are the benefits for your company?

  • Enhanced productivity: integrated Copilot assistant, content generation, meeting summaries, automation of recurring tasks, simplified multitasking

  • Data protection: AI processing is carried out locally, without being sent to the cloud, with reinforced encryption and enhanced confidentiality.

  • Increased energy autonomy: better battery management thanks to on-board AI processing, longer life for mobile devices

  • Smoother collaboration: voice recognition, real-time subtitling, improved co-editing, intelligent visual filters for videoconferencing

AI PCs enable your teams to concentrate on high value-added tasks. By choosing "Copilot+" models, you ensure total compatibility with future uses, while reinforcing your company's innovative image.

The Darest approach: personalized support from A to Z

At Darest, we don't just sell computers. We offer you a global migration strategy, aligned with your business and budgetary challenges:

1. Audit your IT assets

We carry out a complete diagnosis of your existing hardware to identify incompatible workstations, assess current performance and anticipate future needs. The audit includes a mapping of your infrastructure, an analysis of your business software and a detailed compatibility report.

2. Customized migration plan

Depending on your organization and constraints, we build a customized deployment plan. This plan includes phasing by department, definition of priorities, an internal communication strategy and change management with support for key users.

3. Preferential commercial offers

Thanks to our privileged partnerships with HP, Lenovo and Microsoft, we can offer you negotiated prices, cashback offers, leasing or rental solutions (TaaS - Technology as a Service), while maintaining financial flexibility adapted to each structure.

4. User training

We organize personalized training sessions (face-to-face or remote) to help you get to grips with Windows 11 and make the most of the functionalities of IA PCs. These training sessions encourage team buy-in, and reduce the risk of rejection or loss of productivity.

5. Environmental commitment

Darest is committed to a responsible digital transition. We offer CSR-compliant take-back and recycling services for your old equipment. This approach enables your company to enhance its image while complying with the environmental requirements of current certifications (EcoEntreprise, ISO 14001, etc.).

6. ESU support

For companies unable to switch over immediately, we offer subscription management for extended security updates (ESU). This guarantees security continuity, while giving you time to plan a smooth migration. We also take care of compliance monitoring and administrative management with Microsoft.

We are also planning a platform dedicated to migration, with volumetric simulation tools (time, costs, resources) to project your transformation in concrete terms. This portal, connected to our offerings, would promote Darest's expertise while reassuring IT and financial decision-makers at major accounts.

  • Interactive digital brochure: understanding the end of Windows 10 support and the benefits of AI PCs

  • Educational videos: expert answers, practical demonstrations, customer reviews
