HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR A POST-WINDOWS 7 WORLD
While it was sad to see Windows 7 ride off into the sunset, the time had come to embrace Windows 10. As your organisation prepares for migration, here’s what you need to know – TechTonic IT previosuly sent an informational email about this matter to all our IT Client Liaisons – if your company isn’t onboard then you need to get in touch.
Introduced in 2009, Windows 7 currently sits on almost 70% of all business computers - even now, but has arrived and departed its final destination. Microsoft has cut ties with the popular Operating System – along with all major Internet security vendors – and now concentrate solely on Windows 10.
PREPARING FOR THE MOVE TO WINDOWS 10
For some companies Windows 7 has become so ingrained in their operations that migrating from one system to another means a massive leap into the unknown. Here’s a list of next steps to help with planning – don’t worry, we can help you with these:
- Run a thorough security network assessment
- Ensure that business-critical changes are prioritised
- Identify machines that will need to be upgraded or replaced
- Identify legacy processes that use older software
- Develop a realistic budget for upgrades and replacements
- Develop a timeline to make changes with minimal disruption to your business
- Introduce new devices progressively
- Plan employee training for new processes and systems
