Kingston Technology empowers Middle East Enterprises to Securely Transition from Windows 10 with advanced SSD and DRAM Solutions

Mid East Info28-05-2025
As Microsoft prepares to end support for Windows 10 in October 2025, Kingston Technology, a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, 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.'
With a legacy of trust, innovation, and global reach, Kingston Technology is the reliable partner enterprises need to navigate this critical transition with clarity and confidence.

CAIRO, July 28 (MENA) – Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Expatriates Minister Badr Abdelatty met on Monday with Haoliang Xu, Acting Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), on the sidelines of the International High-Level Conference on a Peaceful Settlement of the Palestinian Question and Implementation of the Two-State Solution. Abdelatty expressed appreciation for the vital role UNDP plays in supporting Egypt's development efforts. He commended the programme's constructive contributions to building national capacities and advancing Egypt's progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. He noted that UNDP's support is a key pillar of Egypt's efforts to implement its Vision 2030 and to navigate growing economic challenges. The minister reaffirmed Egypt's commitment to further strengthening cooperation with the programme across all areas of shared interest, whether bilaterally or within multilateral partnerships, to support development and regional stability. The two officials also discussed the situation in Gaza. Abdelatty shed light on Egypt's intensive efforts to secure a ceasefire and facilitate the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid to meet the urgent needs of the Palestinian population. He reiterated Egypt's firm rejection of any attempts to forcibly displace Palestinians from their homeland. The minister also pointed to continued coordination between Egypt, Qatar and the United States in efforts to reach an agreement that would end the worsening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. In a related context, the top diplomat reviewed preparations for an international conference focused on Gaza's early recovery and reconstruction. He underscored the need to rally regional and international support to rebuild the territory's infrastructure and highlighted key elements of the Arab-Islamic plan for Gaza. He stressed the importance of establishing a clear political horizon to address the root causes of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and secure the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state. For his part, Haoliang Xu praised the strong cooperation between UNDP and Egypt and commended Egypt's ongoing efforts to support security and stability across the region. (MENA) R E E/

Saudi Skills Week Trains Youth for Future Labour Demands

Saudi Arabia launches Skills Week to align training with job market needs, offering 3 million training slots by 2028 and mapping 8,500 skills across 12 sectors. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development has launched a week-long national campaign, 'Skills Week,' from July 13th to 19th, to equip young people with the tools needed to thrive in a rapidly changing labour market. Timed with World Youth Skills Day, the initiative promotes a 'Skills First' approach tied closely to Vision 2030 reforms. Under the Waad Training Initiative, authorities aim to deliver three million training slots by 2028 in collaboration with over 65 public and private sector partners. The Kingdom has also introduced a new Sector Skills Framework mapping more than 8,500 skills across 12 key industries. The campaign is supported by a World Bank-backed survey of 3,000 companies to identify pressing skill gaps. Officials have also launched a national skills taxonomy and volunteer mentorship platforms to reinforce lifelong learning. As part of a wider reform agenda, the government is also expanding its Skill Accelerator Programme and Professional Verification Scheme to ensure workforce competitiveness across both domestic and foreign talent. Saudi Arabia's global rankings have risen sharply, now placing 5th in ease of finding skilled labour.

NBE signs $50m agreement with Arab Fund to boost MSME financing

The National Bank of Egypt (NBE) has signed a $50m financing agreement with the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development, marking the Fund's first partnership with Egypt's private sector. The agreement aims to support micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and enhance the NBE's ability to finance entrepreneurs and business owners, with a particular focus on fostering sustainable economic growth, job creation, and financial inclusion—especially in underserved areas. The agreement was signed by Mohamed El-Etreby, CEO of the National Bank of Egypt, and Bader Al-Saad, Director General and Chairperson of the Arab Fund. The financing—equivalent to approximately EGP 2.5bn—comes alongside an additional funding package of up to $400m arranged by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), reflecting the international community's confidence in the National Bank of Egypt's developmental role. Rania Al-Mashat, Minister of Planning, Economic Development and International Cooperation, stated that from 2020 to mid-2025, the ministry has successfully secured over $15.6bn in concessional development finance for Egypt's private sector, through partnerships with regional and international financial institutions. This, she explained, reflects a clear national vision to empower the private sector as a cornerstone of sustainable development by broadening access to concessional finance and deepening cooperation with development finance institutions. She added that the new partnership with the Arab Fund signals a strategic move to channel greater development financing towards the private sector, in support of national priorities including job creation and women's economic empowerment. El-Etreby said the partnership marks a strategic milestone in the bank's efforts to support the Egyptian economy, bolstering the NBE's capacity to finance MSMEs and empower entrepreneurs in line with the Central Bank of Egypt's objectives and Egypt's Vision 2030 for sustainable development. He noted that the bank looks forward to expanding cooperation with Arab and international financial institutions to promote inclusive and sustainable development. The new funds will be channelled into projects across both urban and rural areas through the bank's nationwide network of nearly 700 branches and supported by a diverse package of programmes aimed at strengthening high value-added productive sectors that advance economic diversification. Bader Al-Saad highlighted that the agreement represents a new direction in the Arab Fund's strategy, marking an institutional pivot towards private sector financing after decades of focusing solely on the public sector. This shift, he explained, is designed to maximise development impact and deepen partnerships with local institutions capable of effectively deploying funds towards clear developmental objectives. He emphasised that the private sector is a critical engine of economic growth and job creation, particularly in large and promising economies such as Egypt's. This agreement with the National Bank of Egypt—one of the country's most trusted and widely represented banking institutions—underscores the Arab Fund's commitment to inclusive growth, women's empowerment, and expanding access to finance for small businesses.
