- Windows 10 end-of-support is coming on October 14, 2025.
- Now is the time for businesses to upgrade their hardware if they haven't already.
- MSI's line of commercial desktops, which includes Windows 11, is optimized to help businesses take advantage of new improvements.
There are some important changes coming for Windows users.
In October 2025, Windows 10 will stop receiving updates and users will be ineligible to receive support. Without updates, PCs are more vulnerable to security threats, data breaches, and system failures — so it's important to make sure your business is ready.
Windows 11, the latest release of Windows' NT operating system, has specific hardware requirements for users. If your enterprise desktops are showing their age, it's a good time to consider upgrading your hardware. Commercial-grade models by MSI include powerful processors, security features, and device connectivity that can keep up with your growing business needs.
Windows 11 Pro pre-installed
Upgrading systems or replacing hardware across your business can seem like an onerous task. The good news is Windows 11 offers significant improvements to digital productivity, with 58% faster multi-tasking and capability to handle heavy workloads. It also provides enhanced enterprise-grade security, with resilience against malware improved by 60%.
Windows 11 Pro includes all the features and performance improvements of Windows 11, along with features for IT management — including enhanced encryption and security — and additional corporate networking options. Selected MSI commercial desktop models come with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed.
The new operating system also simplifies deployment, with the ability to preconfigure devices using Windows Autopilot. Whether you're transitioning employees to new hardware now, or onboarding new employees in the future, it promises to save hours of IT effort and associated costs.
Smart specifications for a variety of business use cases
MSI commercial desktops come in a range of form factors, including two compact options: The MSI Cubi NUC and MSI Pro DP21 14M.
The compact MSI Cubi NUC is a mini desktop, smaller than 5.5 x 5.5 x 2 inches. It fits into confined spaces in virtually any business environment. But don't let its size fool you: Its power is anything but small. Options for Intel® Core™7 processor 150U or Intel® Core™ i7 processor allow for robust performance. Four USB ports let users easily connect devices. With two Thunderbolt™ 4 and two HDMI connections — and the option to connect four screens — it offers extensive display options, and the unit itself can be powered through compatible monitors.
The slightly larger (but still compact, at roughly 8 x 8 by 2 inches) MSI Pro DP21 14MQ offers high performance for demanding enterprise tasks, with Intel® Core™ i7 processors. It includes eight USB ports, for unmatched connectivity to business-critical hardware, drives, and accessories.
Both models come with commercial-grade security features, including a discrete Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip to secure confidential business data. They also include the enterprise-level Intel vPro® platform, a set of hardware and firmware technologies that improve security and enable fleet management.
Comprehensive configuration and support for every vertical
Different businesses have different needs. Below are a few scenarios where MSI computers are already in use — and how your organization could benefit.
When you're buying multiple computers for your organization, it's important to minimize risk and the possibility of downtime. MSI commercial desktops are designed for longevity, with up to five years of lifecycle support. Businesses benefit from flexible, configure-to-order options, including full system, bare-bones, and board-level options. MSI offers three-year advanced replacement warranties on selected commercial desktop models, with replacement units delivered in five-to-seven working days.
