"Windows 10 is no longer supported by Microsoft, but at the time of writing, over 40% of Windows devices still run the 10-year-old operating system, according to StatsCounter. Its successor, Windows 11, only overtook the venerable platform in market share in July this year. The data from StatsCounter also shows that 4% of users still run Windows 7, while 0.38% are chugging along on Windows XP, almost a quarter of a century after it shipped."
"So, if you're still relying on Windows 10 across your estate, or want to avoid the whole migration issue in the future, what are the options? The most obvious is to migrate to Windows 11. Microsoft has been serving up pop-ups encouraging the world to do just that for years. And for most regulated industries, this is the default and should already be in train."
Windows 10 has reached end of support while still running on over 40% of devices, with Windows 11 only recently surpassing it in market share. Small percentages of systems still operate Windows 7 and Windows XP. Microsoft offers Extended Support Updates starting at $61 per device per year, with the price doubling annually for up to three years, and ESU available at no extra cost for Windows 10 virtual machines on many Azure services. Migrating to Windows 11 is the primary option, but many machines lack Trusted Platform Module and other requirements. Larger organizations may not fully know their device inventories, leaving client devices such as point-of-sale terminals and ATMs untracked and difficult to upgrade.
