You may have concerns about migration issues, users who are familiar with an older OS like Windows 7, or you may not be ready to sunset some existing devices. But as of January 2020, Microsoft will no longer support Windows 7, leaving old devices vulnerable to data breaches.
Migrating to Windows 10 Pro is a smart move for architecture, engineering and construction firms looking to modernize their infrastructure. It helps IT with data security, manageability and regulatory compliance. And migrating is easier than you think. New devices with Windows 10 Pro unlock productivity benefits, the OS is intuitive for users familiar with Windows 7 or 8 and is compatible with 99% of Windows 7 apps.

Windows 10 Pro protects financial information, customer data, and employees' digital identities, as well as your brand reputation with features such as:
