PREPARING FOR THE TRANSITION: A STEP-BY-STEP LOOK

Here are actionable steps that we recommend to prepare for the Windows 10 end-of-life transition and put your business in the best possible position:

STEP 1
Consult Your IT Provider
Work with your IT provider to create an upgrade strategy. From helping you select the right hardware to handling software upgrades, an IT expert can manage the details so that you don’t have to. This means that you and your team can focus on your core business tasks while a significant portion of the transition is taken off your plate!
STEP 2
Assess Your Current Hardware
Determine the age and condition of your devices. Machines older than five years need to be replaced, while newer ones may just need a Windows 11 license upgrade. This assessment will guide your planning and budgeting in the next steps!

STEP 2
STEP 3
Communicate With Your Team
Keep your employees informed about the strategy you discuss with your IT Provider. Set expectations for the upgrade process and make sure they understand the risks of phishing scams related to Windows 10’s end-of-life.
STEP 4
Upgrade Aged Workstations and Licenses
This step is simple if you and your IT Provider took the time to properly assess your current hardware in Step 2! Replace old workstations and upgrade licenses as needed before moving on to Step 5.

STEP 4
STEP 5
Use A Phased Rollout
Instead of waiting until the last minute, consider a phased rollout with your IT team. Upgrade workstations for a small group of employees first to test compatibility and get feedback, then gradually move more employees to Windows 11 over time! This method reduces disruptions and makes the adoption process much smoother for everyone involved!
