Why Arise and Other Work-from-Home Platforms Are Moving to Windows 11 (And How WAHES Makes the Upgrade Easy)

by Daniel Held April 29, 2025

If you work from home using Arise or similar platforms, upgrading to Windows 11 is becoming more important by the day. If your system isn’t ready, you could miss out on opportunities or run into frustrating compatibility issues.

At WAHES, we make the transition smooth, safe, and simple - even if you're not tech savvy.

Why Windows 11 Matters for Remote Work

Whether you’re taking calls, running chat support, or logging into virtual desktops, your system has to meet current platform requirements. And more and more work from home programs are shifting their tech standards to Windows 11.

Here’s why that matters:

Some clients now require Windows 11 to connect
Older systems may fail Arise’s equipment checks
New agent programs may not even install on Windows 10
Security is a major concern — Windows 11 has stronger built in protections

If your computer doesn’t meet requirements, you could be locked out or disqualified before you even start training.

What’s Better About Windows 11?

Aside from meeting client standards, Windows 11 actually makes working from home easier. It offers:

✅ Faster load times for the apps you use every day
✅ More stable connections for remote desktops and phone tools
✅ A cleaner layout that’s easier to navigate
✅ Stronger security, which is critical for handling customer data

Think of it as the upgrade your remote office needs — not just for today, but to stay eligible for work going forward.

Unsure If You’re Ready to Upgrade?

You’re not alone. Most of our customers at WAHES are working from home and aren't sure what their current system can handle. That’s why we offer:

✔️ Check here — find out if your system is compatible
✔️ Remote setup support — we walk you through cloud backup and the full upgrade process
✔️ Affordable upgrade ready systems — if your current PC won’t cut it, we’ve got you covered

Cloud Backup = Peace of Mind

Worried about losing files during the upgrade? Back up your data to the cloud, so everything is secure before the update even begins.

Whether you’re using OneDrive, Google Drive, or another service, it is a great way to keep your files safe (especially if you don't have extra external storage) and bring them back right after the upgrade.

When Should You Upgrade?

In short: before you miss out on client programs.

We hate to see agents get stuck during onboarding because their systems don’t meet current standards. Don’t let an outdated OS hold you back from real work.

What Are My Options?

WAHES makes it easy for work from home professionals to stay connected and eligible:

✅ Upgrade your current system (if it qualifies)
✅ Purchase a PC with Windows 11
✅ Buy a Plug n Play bundle that meets Arise and similar specs

Don't Let Windows 10 Hold You Back

We know your work matters and so does your setup. If you’re using Arise or any remote customer support platform, Windows 11 isn’t optional much longer. Let WAHES help you upgrade with confidence, whether you’re fixing up your current machine or switching to something new.
