Microsoft has set the end-of-life date for Windows 10 for October 2025, and all eyes are on Windows 11. If you’re in Canada wondering if it’s time to upgrade, the answer is yes, especially if you want a device that’s ready for what’s coming next.
Keep reading to learn the five key reasons a Windows 11 laptop is worth it, how it stacks up in performance and security, and why buying a refurbished computer from Refurb.io might be the best move you’ll make this year.
Let’s start with the big one: security.
Windows 11 keeps threats out from the start. It uses strong security features like hardware-based protection and zero-trust architecture, not as add-ons, but as part of the system itself. That means safer logins, better data encryption, and fewer risks, all running quietly in the background without you needing to do anything.
Here’s what comes standard:
If you're shopping for refurbished laptops in Canada, Refurb.io makes sure every Windows 11-compatible system meets these security specs, so you're not left exposed.
Slow laptops are a buzzkill.
Windows 11 will make your machine faster, smoother, and way more efficient. It uses smarter resource allocation to reduce background clutter, which means:
You can find these performance boosts in new and used devices. With the right refurbished laptop, like a Dell Latitude or HP EliteBook, you’ll feel the difference immediately.
Gone are the days of clunky layouts and buried menus. Windows 11 delivers a centred Start menu, streamlined taskbar, and touch-friendly controls that make better sense.
Whether you’re used to a Mac-style layout or new to laptops, Windows 11’s design helps you:
Even better, refurbished HP laptops and Lenovo ThinkPads from Refurb.io come fully reset with Windows 11, so the whole experience feels brand new without the brand-new price tag.
Microsoft designed Windows 11 to support the tools that power today’s (and tomorrow’s) workflows.
From Android app support through the Amazon Appstore to Microsoft Teams integration, you’ll have tools that make your day-to-day easier, faster, and more connected:
Apps like Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint run smoother on Windows 11, letting you chat, share files, and co-edit documents in real time, from anywhere.
Windows 11 supports the latest versions of graphics-intensive apps and games, including DirectX 12 Ultimate, meaning faster load times, better frame rates, and sharper visuals for work and play.
Older operating systems can eventually block or limit access to updated apps. With Windows 11, you’re not stuck using outdated software — you’ll get the newest features, better speed, and stronger security.
Run your favourite Android apps right from your laptop through the Amazon Appstore. You’ll have access to mobile-friendly tools like Kindle, TikTok, or mobile banking without switching devices.
Windows 11 is for modern devices, with better support for voice commands, touchscreens, and stylus input. It’s ideal for digital note-taking, presentations, or multitasking on the go.
Built-in visual upgrades like Auto HDR make everything on-screen pop, from spreadsheets to streaming. It’s easier on the eyes and makes productivity and entertainment more fun.
Snap layouts let you tile windows side by side without dragging or resizing, while virtual desktops help you separate work, play, and everything in between.

And when you buy from a trusted source, like Refurb.io, you’re getting an affordable upgrade and a fully inspected, professionally refurbished machine that’s:
