My work have only just caught up to windows 10.

Assuming they know nothing of EOL or CVE. They better hurry then, only a year or so until 10 security patches go up the wall.

Unless I'm much mistaken, Windows 10 EOL isn't until 2025, so two years left to run.

Oct 2025. Yeh that's not long in business.

[–] Patch@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Depends on the business really. For my last employer (~19,000 deployed PCs, lots of fussy mission critical legacy applications), 2 years would be cutting it extremely fine. For my current employer (~30 employees, nothing more complicated than standard office applications in use), you could do the upgrade in a week.

I imagine my current employer won't be worrying about upgrading before 2025.

They have shown us a new VM system, which has windows 11 clients soni assume its in the works but rhe windows 10 rollout to 6000 employees was a nightmare.
