• We asked our readers about their Windows 11 plans
• Plenty of users are confident they could easily upgrade their devices
• Not all users have the RAM capacity, or know their RAM at all

As Microsoft's official Windows 10 End of Life comes ever nearer (October 14, 2025 for those of you who don't already know!), any stragglers must soon migrate to Windows 11.

Well, we say stragglers - but our exclusive statistics show over half (53%) of Windows users are still using the older software, potentially leaving them at risk of cyberattacks and other issues when support ends.

Our Future survey of 1,027 users found just 43% say they have made the upgrade - so what is causing the delay?

Optimistic outlooks

Well, simply put - our research found it could partly be because many users simply don’t know that they need to upgrade.

The majority of people (55%) know ‘exactly what version’ they’re on, but that leaves 23% who are ‘fairly sure’, 10% who ‘could make an educated guess’, and a further 12% who aren’t sure at all.

(We're also pretty sure our audience at TechRadar Pro is obviously pretty tech-savvy, so the real percentage of those who are unsure is likely to be much higher...)

Most of those surveyed (61%) said they own two devices or more in their home, and 53% say all of their PCs/Laptops meet the requirements for Windows 11 upgrades - leaving 28% of respondents falling short of the requirements in some capacity.

The survey did find a bit of uncertainty though, with 14% not knowing the Windows 11 system requirements, and a further 4% not knowing their device system requirements. This is where the optimism comes in.

For those who don’t know, the RAM requirement for Windows 11 is 4GB - and just over half (53%) of those asked weren’t sure how much RAM their device has, but 40% said they were sure - although that’s not quite the whole picture.

We asked those 40% how much RAM they have, and about 1 in 4 respondents gave us an inconceivable answer - either far too high, or far too low.

Most were ridiculously optimistic, like 1TB, which even industrial set-ups would be jealous of, so it's really not clear how many of us are ready or able to upgrade.

While Windows 11 adoption may finally be on the rise, there are still plenty of users yet to make the change. Microsoft is still urging users to update though, as the firm has pushed endless AI features into desktops and laptops across the globe to try and entice users to switch.

If you're anything like me since getting your hands on a PlayStation Portal, you'll have been constantly looking for ways to kit it out and make the most of the handheld device.

There are some obvious ways to add some bling or extra functionality, or protection to the Portal with an accessory. As soon as it was announced, third-party brands were clambering to try and offer solutions for screen protectors, cases, charging cables, wraps, and so on.

There were even two close-enough-to-dedicated audio accessories released by Sony in the form of the Pulse Explore earbuds and Pulse Elite headset.

However, if you always have the handheld out and want something convenient, functional, and aesthetically pleasing to sit your Portal on, then the array of custom charging docks that have been made has been an ideal fit.

And I may have finally found the one that will complete my setup, even though it's not actually that brand new.

Accessorizin'

In the absence of an official product, PowerA's officially licensed charging station looks set to be the last missing piece to my Portal setup-shaped puzzle.

Before now, I'd kitted my beloved Portal out with a screen protector, the Pulse Explore earbuds, a case that could also carry the earbuds and other bits, and even some Kontrol Freek thumb grips and wraps for accessibility reasons.

But the one thing that was missing was always a convenient means to charge my Portal - especially with its slightly awkward and sunken-in USB-C port - and a stand that meant I didn't have to scramble to get the Portal back into a case every time I was done with it.

This is one of the neatest and tidiest PlayStation Portal accessories I've seen and is the missing piece to my own Portal setup - could it be for you too?

As a result, PowerA's charging station is likely to be a game changer for me. Its design is already in keeping with the PlayStation 5 family aesthetic, it's powered by a USB cable only so there's no need for a wall socket, it sits robustly and solidly on a surface with a weighted base, houses the Portal incredibly easily, and it has the officially licensed stamp of approval from Sony. And it only costs $37.99 or £34.99!

What else could I possibly need for my Portal at this point?

Mine is arriving in the mail soon, and I can't wait for it to be the finishing touch to my Portal's setup - and for it to ensure I'm never running out of juice, while also looking the part.
