In January 2020, extended support for Windows 7 will come to an end. Most businesses are in the thick of planning their migrations to the Windows 10 operating system; many are still in pilot mode. For large businesses and enterprises, a migration is no small effort. It requires hundreds of hours of planning and testing, plus manual “man hours” of performing the upgrade itself.
In other words: A Windows 10 migration may not only be disruptive, it’s inarguably a monumental investment for your organization. To streamline your migration, here are the major elements you should consider as you move forward — and a reminder of the benefits that will make your hard work worth the effort in the end.
Here’s the good news: While it may feel like it’s “Windows 10 or the highway,” Microsoft is confident that this migration is far easier than previous versions. Application compatibility is on the rise. The security features in Windows 10 are without a doubt appealing. And, with today’s modern migration automaton capabilities and application virtualization, making the move can be easier with remote desktop applications and virtual desktops.
Bottom line: Your organization has many choices and paths to move forward. In the next blog in this series, we’ll discuss some options businesses have for streamlining their migration efforts, including application virtualization and how to find the right IT service provider to help you achieve your goals. Finally, we’ll talk about the end results — the benefits you’ll realize when it’s all said and done.
