ControlUp has released new insights from its Windows 11 Readiness report, revealing that 50% of enterprise Windows endpoints have now completed their migration to Windows 11.

This marks notable progress from last year, when over 82% of enterprise devices were still running Windows 10. With less than four months remaining before Microsoft’s support for Windows 10 ends on 14 October 2025, the data underscores both encouraging advancements and ongoing challenges in enterprise migration efforts across industries, regions, and organisation sizes.

“While reaching 50% migration is a significant milestone, organisations shouldn’t relax,” said Marcel Calef, America’s Field CTO at ControlUp. “With Windows 10 support ending soon, companies need to accelerate their plans to avoid being caught unprepared. Our data shows that migration progress is uneven, and many enterprises still face substantial hardware and planning hurdles.”

Analysis of over one million enterprise endpoints shows that the Education and Technology sectors are leading the migration, with 77% and 73% of their devices already upgraded to Windows 11, respectively. Conversely, the Healthcare sector lags behind at 41%, and Finance at 45%. Further inspection indicates that 19% of Healthcare endpoints require complete hardware replacement before supporting Windows 11, compared to just 3% in Finance.

The report also highlights that organisations with over 10,000 Windows devices are the least prepared — only 42% have completed their migration. The complexity of large IT environments and the prevalence of legacy hardware contribute to these hurdles, emphasising the importance of early assessment and planning.
