Windows 11 Upgrade & Server Patching for Michigan Businesses
Windows 10 reached end of life in October 2025. NexalOne upgrades your devices to Windows 11 for a flat one-time cost — and keeps your servers patched and secure every month. Small business, medium, and enterprise plans available across Metro Detroit.
Two Services. One Michigan IT Team.
NexalOne handles both the one-time migration to Windows 11 and the ongoing monthly patching that keeps your systems secure after the upgrade.
Windows 10 → Windows 11 Upgrade
A complete, managed migration from Windows 10 to Windows 11. We check hardware compatibility, back up your data, perform the upgrade, update all drivers, verify every application runs correctly, and document the result. Flat cost of $149 per device. Volume discounts for 10+ devices.
Monthly Server Patching
Scheduled monthly patching of your Windows Servers — OS security updates, cumulative patches, driver updates, and post-patch health checks. We patch after hours so your business is never interrupted. Every patch cycle is documented and reported.
Compatibility Assessment
Not every device can run Windows 11. Before spending a dollar, NexalOne audits every machine in your business — CPU, TPM 2.0, RAM, storage, and firmware. You receive a full report showing which devices can upgrade and which need replacing, with cost estimates for both paths.
Compliance Documentation
For businesses in healthcare, finance, or legal — HIPAA, SOC 2, and other frameworks require documented patch management. NexalOne provides a monthly patching report you can hand directly to auditors showing every patch applied, every server covered, and every date completed.
Rollback Protection
Before every Windows 11 upgrade, NexalOne creates a full system backup and a restore point. If any application has compatibility issues after the upgrade, we roll back and resolve before proceeding. You never lose data or productivity.
Post-Upgrade Support
After your Windows 11 upgrade, NexalOne provides 30 days of complimentary support for any issues related to the migration — user questions, application quirks, printer issues, or settings that need adjusting. We don't disappear after the job is done.
How the Windows 11 Upgrade Works
NexalOne follows a proven 6-step process for every Windows 11 upgrade — whether you have 1 device or 200. No surprises, no shortcuts.
Hardware Compatibility Audit
We scan every device — CPU generation, TPM 2.0 chip, RAM, storage, and BIOS/UEFI firmware — and flag any that need hardware updates before upgrading.
Full Data Backup
Before touching anything, we back up every device to a secure location. Your files, settings, and applications are safe no matter what.
After-Hours Upgrade
We perform the Windows 11 installation outside your business hours — evenings or weekends. Your team arrives to upgraded machines, not an IT crew in the way.
Driver & Application Verification
After upgrading, we update all hardware drivers, test your business-critical applications, verify printing and network access, and fix any compatibility issues.
User Orientation
Windows 11 looks different. We walk your team through the key changes — Start menu, taskbar, Settings — so they're productive from day one.
30-Day Follow-Up Support
We stay on for 30 days post-upgrade to handle any questions or issues. Call, email, or submit a ticket — we respond in under 15 minutes.

$149 per device is $149 per device. No hourly billing, no "discovery fees," no charge if we find a problem during the upgrade. What we quote is what you pay.
Zero Business-Hours Downtime
Every upgrade and every patch cycle is scheduled after hours. Your employees walk in the next morning to upgraded, secured machines — with no IT crew underfoot during the workday.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything Michigan businesses ask about Windows 11 upgrades and server patching.
Technically yes — but Microsoft no longer issues security patches for Windows 10. Every unpatched Windows 10 device in your business is a liability. Ransomware operators specifically target end-of-life operating systems because they know vulnerabilities will never be fixed. Our recommendation: upgrade now, not after an incident.
Windows 11 requires a compatible CPU (8th gen Intel or Ryzen 2000+), TPM 2.0, and at least 4GB RAM. Devices that don't meet these requirements cannot be upgraded. NexalOne's compatibility audit identifies these machines upfront. We'll give you a cost comparison between upgrading compatible devices and replacing the ones that aren't — so you can make an informed decision.
Our standard rate is $149 per device for small businesses (1–14 devices). Volume pricing drops to $99 per device for 15 or more devices. Enterprise projects with 100+ devices are custom-quoted based on scope, site count, and scheduling requirements. All pricing includes backup, upgrade, driver updates, verification, and 30-day support.
No. NexalOne schedules all upgrades outside your business hours — typically evenings or weekends. Each device takes between 90 minutes and 2 hours. We return completed devices before your team arrives in the morning. In 5 years, we have never caused a missed business day due to an upgrade.
Server patching is applying Microsoft's security updates, bug fixes, and driver updates to your Windows Servers on a scheduled basis. Microsoft releases patches on "Patch Tuesday" — the second Tuesday of every month. NexalOne applies these within 2 weeks of release after testing, plus emergency patching for critical zero-day vulnerabilities as soon as they're available.
Both. Our most common clients for Windows 11 upgrades are small businesses with 5–50 devices across Metro Detroit. We also handle enterprise deployments of 200+ devices across multiple sites. The process is the same regardless of size — we just scale the team and scheduling accordingly.
Yes. Every month you receive a written patch report showing every server patched, every update applied, the date and time of the patch window, and the post-patch health status. This report meets the documentation requirements for HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, PCI-DSS, and most cyber insurance policies. We'll give you a template to show your auditor if needed.
