It’s hard to believe that 2019 is halfway over. Before you know it, it will be back-to-school followed by winter parkas. As you shift your mind to future planning, we’d like you to think about your computer systems. Beginning January 14, 2020, Microsoft will no longer support Windows 7. What exactly does this mean? After this date your computer will no longer receive routine bug fixes or security patches, making you vulnerable to the hundreds of thousands of malware samples that hit the internet everyday.
Have You Started Taking Steps to Upgrade Systems?
As the clock continues to tick, we urge you to start taking these steps now to ensure systems are secure by January.
- Determine Application Compatibility
– Install your business apps on a Windows 10 PC and have a power-user test. - Take Inventory
– Determine which PC’s to replace and which to upgrade - Create a workflow/timeline to ensure all upgrades/replacements are completed by deadline
- Purchase needed equipment and get started
Need Help?
Schedule your Windows migration assessment today. Our service team will determine the number of workstations that are in need of upgrade/replacement and assist in the migration process to Windows 10. Currently, there is no fee associated for this work for Managed Service clients. As we close in on the January deadline, we anticipate an uptick in demand for these services and charges for labor may be incurred due to staff availability.
