As Windows 10 end-of-support looms, IT faces a painful choice


Supporting Windows 10 PCs is about to get very expensive, but upgrading to Windows 11 poses significant hardware and software challenges for many organizations. What terror awaits when 1,000 applets IT never knew about crash after the upgrade?

Far more critically, what about operational technology devices that manage industrial processes, on-prem legacy apps (including tons of homegrown code), and the unknown numbers of applets that IT doesn’t know about? “However, hardware refresh projects have gone slower than expected due to budgetary constraints and supply chain issues, necessitating more in-place upgrades to meet the October deadline,” he continued. Unless they have a mission-critical legacy app with no viable workaround, migrating to Windows 11 now is the smarter long-term play, especially for organizations already on hardware nearing refresh cycles,” Akande said.
