This October, Windows 10 becomes EOL, and with 40% of devices in the UK still running Windows 10, many businesses will look to prioritise Windows 11 readiness, creating a significant opportunity across the industry.

The 2017 WannaCry ransomware attack highlighted the importance of updating operating systems—it affected over 160,000 users globally, 98% of whom were using outdated Windows 7 instead of the then-current Windows 10. This attack was estimated to have cost the NHS £92 million.

Lansweeper identifies all devices on a network, down to their software versions, registered users, and hardware. It also shows which devices are eligible for Windows 11. Lansweeper also provide EOL or EOS information on the operating system levels, as there are some Windows 11 OS that are already EOL and that would need an upgraded version.

Without determining which devices need migrating, some devices will be left behind unsupported and open the entire network to potential attacks.

Droplet allows legacy Windows applications to run natively inside an isolated NeverTrust™ container on newer modern operating systems and cloud platforms such as Windows 11, or Server 2022, with recoding or refactoring. Droplet NeverTrust™ also meets the latest compliance standards by running legacy apps in a secure, isolated container.

Unsupported and outdated software creates a playground for hackers, exposing systems to security vulnerabilities and increasing the risk of cyber threats.

Recast Software extends Intune’s functionality by providing enhanced application management, patching, and configuration capabilities. The Recast Setup Store offers over 5,000 curated across Windows and Mac, ensuring that organisations can manage third-party software with the same ease as Microsoft applications.

Those using Application Workspace report up to a 50% reduction in manual processes and a 25% lower total cost of ownership, allowing IT teams to focus on what’s important.

End point management is moving to Intune and by default this requires a re-installation of the OS. This is very manual and causes a large amount of end user disruption. Quest supports the joining of Windows 10 and 11 devices into Intune without this re-installation and from there Windows 10 devices can be updated to windows 11 as an in-place update.

Without Quest, the process of migrating is long, manual and results in major amounts of downtime across the company.

TeamViewer DEX bridges the visibility gap between device performance and end-user experience. By combining real-time performance data with user sentiment, it enables IT teams to detect and resolve issues proactively.

Without DEX, organisations rely on reactive support, often addressing problems only after users report them. DEX helps assess Windows 11 readiness, reduces incident tickets, and improves overall IT responsiveness and user satisfaction.
