Lansweeper representatives did not answer a request for comment from CRN. The report does not provide specifics on where the workstations are located or the industries and sizes of the organizations surveyed. The report continued: “Without complete visibility across the IT estate, organizations could potentially waste hours and significant budget manually inspecting machines - not to mention the risk of missing outdated machines they don‘t know about.” The reality is, you can‘t update machines you don’t know you have.” “It would be impossible to find all the devices using manual, paper-based processes, as many organizations have abandoned IT assets that are sitting idle but still connected to the network. “For enterprises with thousands of Windows machines, preparing for the Windows 11 upgrade would be a massive task without automation - and even worse without an up-to-date IT asset inventory,” according to the report. Other findings from Lansweeper: one in 10 won’t upgrade due to memory requirements and almost half fail to meet the security chip requirement or don’t have it enabled. ![]() Lansweeper, a Belgium-based IT asset management services provider, looked at about 30 million Windows devices from 60,000 organizations and determined that only 44.4 percent of workstations can receive an automatic upgrade based on CPU, which means many companies may resort to a costly and time-consuming manual update process. ![]() ![]() And future Windows 11 upgrades aren’t guaranteed if workstations fail to meet the requirements.
