Kingston Technology Supports Windows 11 Migration
Home » Emerging technologies » Storage » Kingston Technology Supports Windows 11 Migration Kingston Technology has announced its commitment to support enterprises across the Middle East as Microsoft prepares to end support for Windows 10 in October 2025. The company revealed that its next-generation SSD and DRAM solutions are helping organizations take control of their upgrade paths with future-ready memory technology. This support aims to ensure a smooth and secure transition to modern platforms like Windows 11 and Windows 365. Digital transformation remains central to the national visions of the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Initiatives like the UAE Digital Government Strategy 2025 and Saudi Vision 2030 are pushing enterprises to modernize IT infrastructure. Kingston Technology reported that running critical operations on unsupported systems increases risk. To reduce this, the company is offering high-performance memory upgrades that boost productivity and ensure compliance. Khalil Yazbeck, Business Development Manager – UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman at Kingston Technology, stated: 'As organizations in the Middle East plan their next move, Kingston stands ready as a strategic partner to deliver the tools and knowledge needed for a smooth migration.' He added that Kingston's SSD and DRAM solutions are designed to meet Windows 11 hardware requirements. These upgrades help increase system performance and device longevity. Furthermore, the company reported that simply meeting Windows 11's minimum hardware specs is not enough. Unlocking the full potential of modern systems requires high-capacity memory and storage. Kingston's NVMe SSDs and DRAM offer several benefits: Faster boot times and file access Improved multitasking and performance for AI and data-heavy tasks The company emphasized that upgrading existing devices is often the smartest path. It balances cost and performance and aligns with long-term IT strategies. Kingston Technology warned that keeping Windows 10 without support poses security risks. Enterprises relying on outdated systems may face compliance issues. Some may consider paying for extended support, but Kingston noted this is a costly temporary solution. It doesn't improve performance or reduce risk. Buying new devices guarantees performance but comes with high upfront costs. AI PCs, while promising, still face memory and compatibility limits. Instead, Kingston recommended upgrading current devices with SSDs and DRAM to enhance efficiency, lifespan, and return on investment. 'Our mission is to deliver performance without compromise,' Yazbeck said. 'We are enabling Middle East enterprises to future-proof operations and turn challenges into advantages.' Kingston Technology continues to position itself as a trusted global partner with the tools and expertise to guide secure migrations.

Kingston Helps Middle East Organizations To Securely Transition From Windows 10
As Microsoft prepares to end support for Windows 10 in October 2025, Kingston Technology is helping organizations across the Middle East take control of their upgrade path with future-ready SSD and DRAM solutions. Through its trusted expertise and high-performance technology, Kingston is guiding enterprises toward a secure, seamless transition to modern platforms such as Windows 11 and Windows 365. With digital transformation being a cornerstone of UAE's and Saudi Arabia's national visions, particularly under initiatives like the UAE Digital Government Strategy 2025 and Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, enterprises cannot afford to run critical operations on unsupported software. Kingston is committed to guiding IT leaders through a rapid, smooth and cost-effective migration that minimizes risk while boosting productivity and compliance. 'As organizations in the Middle East plan their next move, Kingston stands ready as a strategic partner to deliver the tools and knowledge needed for a smooth migration,' said Khalil Yazbeck, Business Development Manager – UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman, Kingston Technology. 'Our next-generation SSD and DRAM solutions not only support Windows 11's hardware requirements but also unlock higher performance and longer device life, enabling smarter investments and faster returns.' Upgrading to Windows 11 goes beyond meeting basic hardware specifications, it's about unlocking the full potential of modern systems. While compatibility with TPM 2.0 and the latest CPUs is required, transitioning to higher-capacity next-generation memory and storage can significantly boost system performance, enhance user productivity and enable organizations to fully leverage the capabilities of the new platform. Kingston's NVMe SSDs and high-performance DRAM are designed to meet these demands by enabling smooth system upgrades, accelerating boot times and file access, supporting efficient multitasking and extending the lifespan of existing hardware. This results in improved productivity and the ability to handle demanding workloads including those driven by AI and data-intensive applications. For many organizations in the region, upgrading existing devices represents the most practical and future-proof approach. It strikes the right balance between cost and performance while aligning with long-term IT strategy as the Windows ecosystem continues to evolve. Some enterprises may consider doing nothing, an approach fraught with risk. Unsupported Windows 10 systems will no longer receive critical security updates, leaving organizations vulnerable to cyber threats and compliance issues. Others may opt to stay on Windows 10 and pay for extended support. While this buys time, it's a costly short-term fix that delays the inevitable migration and doesn't improve system performance. Buying new devices is another path. It guarantees compatibility and offers the latest in performance and features. However, it comes with high upfront costs, especially when evaluating AI PCs, which may still face software and compatibility challenges, as well as limitations in memory and storage upgradability, especially in AI laptops. Upgrading existing devices stands out as the smartest path forward. By enhancing current systems with Kingston SSDs and DRAM, organizations can run Windows 11 efficiently, boost system performance and extend device lifespans, delivering high ROI without major capital expenditure. 'Kingston's role goes beyond providing hardware, we are enabling Middle East enterprises to future-proof their operations,' added Yazbeck. 'Our mission is to deliver performance without compromise, helping organizations turn a looming challenge into a competitive advantage.' 0 0
