As technology advances – adding new functions and striving to provide additional protection from security threats – it’s crucial to ensure that your systems are up-to-date and running smoothly. With Microsoft’s plan to phase out support for Windows 10, now is the perfect time to upgrade your hardware and transition to Windows 11.

Upgrading to Windows 11 offers numerous benefits, including enhanced security, improved performance, and access to the latest features and updates. To help you stay ahead of the curve and avoid the last-minute rush, we strongly encourage you to consider upgrading your hardware now.

Here are a few reasons why upgrading to Windows 11 is a smart move:

1. Maintain PCI Compliance: Software used within a Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) must have the capability to receive security updates per requirement 6.2 of the Data Security Standard (DSS). Security updates for Windows 7 ended in January 2020, and Windows 10 is nearing the end of its support lifecycle.
2. Beat the Rush: Avoid the last-minute scramble and ensure a smooth transition by upgrading now, before the demand for new hardware spikes. Upgrade now before we get into the busy holiday season.
3. Enhanced Security: Windows 11 provides advanced security features to protect your data and systems from modern threats.
4. Improved Performance: Experience faster boot times, better resource management, and increased overall performance.
5. New Features: Take advantage of the latest tools and functionalities designed to boost productivity and streamline your store’s operations.
6. Prepared for the Future: Ensure compatibility with future software updates and applications.

To make your upgrade process seamless, you can purchase the necessary hardware directly from our website:

• Upgrade Your Server Computer
• Upgrade Your POS, Workstation, or QBS Machine
• External USB DVD-RW Drive
  (You don’t need a CD/DVD drive for BSMGR, and new machines don’t include them. Only select this if you want to add one for other uses.)

Additionally, if you’re looking for a more mobile solution, we also offer on-the-go options using Microsoft Surface Pro tablets. These portable devices are perfect for those who need flexibility, allowing you to take your POS system wherever you go. *

If you’re interested in exploring our mobile solution, feel free to contact me directly for pricing details and further information.

* Internet connection required for mobile POS

If you have any questions about the upgrade process or need assistance with selecting the right hardware for your needs, our team is here to help. Simply reach out to us at (800) 997-6724 option 1, or email sales@bsmgr.com.

Don’t wait until the last minute start planning your upgrade to Windows 11 today!
