IS YOUR COMPUTER AT RISK IF YOU STAY ON WINDOWS 10?

From October 14, 2025, your computer will be exposed to increased risk. After this date, Microsoft will stop providing free security updates for Windows 10. This means that new vulnerabilities will not be patched, which can lead to an increased risk of malware or ransomware attacks.

Microsoft offers the option to purchase Extended Security Updates (ESU) for a fee, but this service is time-limited and provides only critical security updates. That is why we recommend switching to Windows 11.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SWITCHING TO WINDOWS 11?

Discover the reasons why upgrading is worth it

Switching to Windows 11 brings significant improvements in performance, security, and user comfort. If you are using Windows 10 and want your system to be secure and future-ready, upgrading to Windows 11 is the right step. Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 in October 2025, meaning no more security updates will be released after that date.

Below you will find the reasons why switching to Windows 11 is worth it, explained in detail.

Benefits of switching to Windows 11:

  • Higher performance and smoother operation

Windows 11 is optimized for new processors and modern hardware. The result is faster system startup, better multitasking, and more efficient use of processing power.

  • Modern design and easier navigation

An enhanced user interface with a centered Start menu, rounded corners, and features like Snap Layouts improves productivity and comfort while working.

  • Built-in security features

Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, which enhance data protection and overall system security from the moment it starts.

  • Support for new technologies

The operating system supports innovations such as DirectStorage for faster game loading and better NVMe SSD performance, as well as advanced HDR for superior visuals.

  • Long-term updates and official support

Windows 10 will only be supported until October 2025. Windows 11 ensures regular updates, security patches, and compatibility with the latest software.

  1. We check whether your computer meets the minimum Windows 11 requirements (processor, RAM, TPM, Secure Boot, disk, graphics, display…)

  2. We verify that TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are enabled – essential security requirements without which Windows 11 will not run

  3. We update your BIOS and drivers – these are often what prevent a successful installation of the new system

  4. If needed, we use advanced diagnostic tools to detect even hidden compatibility issues

Why you shouldn’t attempt the Windows 11 setup on your own

Many users have no idea how to enter the BIOS and activate essential features like TPM 2.0 or Secure Boot, which are required for installing Windows 11. These settings are often hidden or labeled differently. Additionally, some devices require a BIOS or firmware update, which without experience is risky and can lead to serious system startup issues.

If you want to be sure that your computer is fully ready for a hassle-free Windows 11 installation, leave the compatibility check to the experts.

We will help you with the entire process – from diagnostics and configuration through data backup to the actual switch to the new system, without stress or risk.

Windows Defender or ESET antivirus – which is better for your business?
Is Windows Defender sufficient to protect your device? Can it detect viruses on the internet, or does it let them through like a sieve? Is the homegrown ESET product better at protecting your computer than free competing programs or Windows Defender? The answers to these questions have been debated for a long time. But few people know the right answer. That is why we decided to run our own protection tests.

Looking back, Windows Defender does not have the best reputation when it comes to virus protection. Microsoft has faced many challenges in protecting users, but has been continuously working to improve its Windows 10 operating system, which includes Windows Defender. It naturally pushes the quality bar higher and enhances protection in the online world. But is it enough?

In principle, basic protection is certainly better than none at all. Many users do not realize its advantages. It protects the user automatically, for free, and without any configuration needed. It does not burden the system and requires virtually no maintenance. On the other hand, most of these features are also available in free and, of course, paid antivirus programs. That is why we focused directly on protection compared to the Slovak product ESET.

ABOUT WINDOWS DEFENDER

As mentioned above, Microsoft has made significant progress in recent years in developing its antivirus and has expanded the features in Windows Defender:

  • Real-time threat detection
  • Firewall protection
  • Parental controls
  • Cloud-based antivirus library (for improved overall performance)

After these expansions, we started to wonder whether it is necessary to use another antivirus or whether Windows Defender alone is sufficient for protection.

IS WINDOWS DEFENDER ENOUGH?

Microsoft has made many improvements in recent years. But there are still many things we do not like about Microsoft Defender:

  • Parental controls are limited to the Microsoft browser only
  • Internet security features must be installed separately for external browsers (such as Chrome and Firefox)
  • Real-time protection failed to block some malicious files during testing
  • It does not include a built-in password manager
  • Microsoft does not update its database frequently enough to keep it always current

In conclusion, we would also like to mention free antivirus programs that provide better protection against viruses and malware. Many programs offer additional features that Microsoft does not include, such as a virtual private network (VPN) and a password manager. The best approach for free protection is a combination of Windows Defender and a free antivirus. However, they will certainly not provide you with 100% protection. That is why we recommend ESET to our clients.

WHAT DOES ESET OFFER?

ESET has a wide range of computer security tools, which is why it is a better option than Windows Defender. Users will also appreciate the extensive selection of packages to choose from, allowing them to tailor protection to their needs. But what protection does it offer?

Let’s start with computer performance while using the program. You will not notice any drop in performance; the device runs without any issues during office work. Demanding users will be pleased to know that there is no noticeable performance drop even during gaming. Fast threat detection is ensured through cloud-based diagnostics.

Thanks to the “LiveGrid” service, you will be warned in time about potential virus risks. Computer scanning runs continuously, focusing on file changes and connections. ESET also provides deep scanning of all files.je hĺbkové preskúmanie všetkých súborov.

Compared to the competition, ESET offers more than enough. From webcam access protection to thorough protection against deep infection threats (UEFI). It also allows you to view devices connected to your home network and scan for network vulnerabilities. Thanks to this feature, you can detect whether a neighbor or an unknown device is connecting to your WiFi.

Windows Defender versus ESET antivirus comparison – IT HELP security guide

The antivirus provides all the protective features of Windows Defender, but faster. Virus penetration was zero.

  • Parental controls are available for all browsers without installation.
  • Real-time protection was able to defend against all threats.
  • It includes a built-in password manager.
  • The database is continuously updated.

CONCLUSION

Microsoft is heading in the right direction with Windows Defender. It provides users with basic security and features that, while not extensive, are still useful. Combined with the right free antivirus, it offers decent security. However, it is important to realize that the virus databases are not the most up to date and threat penetration is higher.

The Slovak company ESET offers multiple packages for one or more devices. Virus databases are continuously updated thanks to fast cloud-based diagnostics.

The basic NOD32 package provides general protection, or you can opt for one of the advanced packages. From our own experience, we can only recommend antivirus from ESET. But if you are still unsure, you can try all the features yourself first. For new users, they offer a free 30-day trial version with all features included.
