For clients on a calendar year, Yeh may encourage them to buy Windows 11 devices in January. Yeh said that he plans to wait a couple of quarters before talking to clients about upgrading to Windows 11.

вЂњBut if theyвЂre not in a regular replacement cycle, then if they get caught on that wrong side of that economic downturn, theyвЂ™re suffering through really dead slow equipment all the time.вЂќ вЂњWhen cash is tight, they can just tighten that belt up and go through for a year or so, because they know nothing is older than three years old,вЂќ he said. He tells his clients that in good economic times, they need to replace 30 percent of their fleet proactively.

Kelly Yeh, president of Chantilly, Va.-based Microsoft partner Phalanx Technology Group, told CRN in an interview that he isnвЂ™t concerned by the need for end users to upgrade their hardware to meet Windows 11 requirements because of the extra security and operational benefits upgrades bring. There are methods available for running Windows 11 on non-compatible hardware that Microsoft allows but does not openly condone.

Microsoft representatives did not return a request for comment. Lansweeper representatives did not answer a request for comment from CRN. The report does not provide specifics on where the workstations are located or the industries and sizes of the organizations surveyed. The report continued: вЂњWithout complete visibility across the IT estate, organizations could potentially waste hours and significant budget manually inspecting machines - not to mention the risk of missing outdated machines they donвЂt know about.вЂќ

The reality is, you canвЂt update machines you donвЂ™t know you have.вЂќ вЂњIt would be impossible to find all the devices using manual, paper-based processes, as many organizations have abandoned IT assets that are sitting idle but still connected to the network. вЂњFor enterprises with thousands of Windows machines, preparing for the Windows 11 upgrade would be a massive task without automation - and even worse without an up-to-date IT asset inventory,вЂќ according to the report. Other findings from Lansweeper: one in 10 wonвЂ™t upgrade due to memory requirements and almost half fail to meet the security chip requirement or donвЂ™t have it enabled.

Lansweeper, a Belgium-based IT asset management services provider, looked at about 30 million Windows devices from 60,000 organizations and determined that only 44.4 percent of workstations can receive an automatic upgrade based on CPU, which means many companies may resort to a costly and time-consuming manual update process. And future Windows 11 upgrades arenвЂ™t guaranteed if workstations fail to meet the requirements. More than 55 percent of workstations wonвЂ™t automatically upgrade to MicrosoftвЂ™s upcoming Windows 11 operating system due to the processing requirements, according to a Tuesday report by Lansweeper.
