Windows Migration

Still running Windows 10? As of October 2025, it is officially end-of-life — Microsoft no longer issues security patches, leaving your systems exposed to every vulnerability discovered from that point forward.

This is no longer an optional upgrade. It is an active, unpatched risk that can:

Void your cyber insurance — most policies now require supported, patched operating systems as a condition of coverage

Violate CMMC and NIST compliance — federal contractors and DoD suppliers must maintain patched systems or risk losing contracts and certifications

Breach HIPAA and PCI DSS requirements — healthcare and payment environments running unpatched OS versions face regulatory fines and audit failures

Every day you wait increases your exposure. We will help you assess your fleet, identify the fastest path to compliance, and execute a remediation plan — whether that means an in-place upgrade or a full device refresh.

Key Questions

What is our immediate security exposure?

Every device still running Windows 10 is operating without Microsoft security patches — meaning any vulnerability discovered after October 2025 will never be fixed. Attackers actively target end-of-life systems because they know they are permanently unprotected. Your exposure grows every day. We can perform a rapid fleet assessment to identify exactly how many devices are at risk and prioritize the ones that need immediate action.

Does our legacy fleet meet Windows 11 hardware requirements?

Windows 11 has strict hardware requirements — including TPM 2.0, a compatible 64-bit processor, and a minimum of 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. Many devices purchased before 2019 will not qualify and will need to be replaced rather than upgraded. We will audit your fleet, identify which devices can be upgraded in place, and provide a clear replacement roadmap for those that cannot — so you can plan and budget with confidence.

Are we violating our cyber insurance or compliance mandates?

Almost certainly, if you are still running unpatched Windows 10 devices. Cyber insurers are increasingly denying claims on networks with end-of-life operating systems. Federal contractors face CMMC and NIST 800-171 violations. Healthcare organizations risk HIPAA audit failures. Payment processors face PCI DSS non-compliance. The cost of a single breach or denied insurance claim will far exceed the cost of upgrading now. We can help you document your remediation plan to satisfy auditors and insurers.

Have we budgeted for Microsoft’s ESU price spikes?

Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates (ESU) program offers a temporary lifeline for organizations that cannot upgrade immediately — but it is expensive and escalates sharply each year. Year 1 costs are already significant, and they roughly double annually through 2028. ESU also does not resolve the underlying compliance risk; it only buys time. In most cases, the total cost of ESU over two to three years exceeds the cost of a full device refresh. We will help you run the numbers so you can make the right call for your organization.

Enterprise & Government: How do we know how many Windows 10 devices we have?

For organizations with 25 or more devices across multiple locations or network segments, we offer a free remote network scan that identifies every Windows 10 device on your network — by hostname, IP address, and OS version — without requiring hands-on access to each machine. You will receive a clear report showing your total Windows 10 exposure, which devices can be upgraded in place, and which must be replaced. This gives you the data you need to build a remediation budget, satisfy an auditor, or respond to an insurance questionnaire — fast. 🔒 Your information is kept strictly confidential and is never shared with third parties. It is used solely to conduct your assessment and follow up with you directly. Contact us to schedule your network assessment — we respond within 24 hours on business days.

Small Business: How can we quickly find out which devices need attention?

For smaller organizations, the fastest path to clarity is a Serial Number Audit. Simply provide us with a list of your device serial numbers — from your existing inventory, your IT vendor, or the stickers on the back of each machine — and we will cross-reference them against manufacturer databases to determine Windows 11 upgrade eligibility for every device on your list. No software to install. No network access required. Just a list and a quick turnaround. You will know exactly which devices are upgrade-ready and which need to be replaced — so you can act with confidence instead of guessing.

Windows 10 Lifecycle Planning: A Roadmap for GovCon and Small Business

The end of Windows 10 support is not just a technology refresh — it is a compliance and budget event. Microsoft’s Extended Security Update (ESU) program provides a short-term bridge, but costs escalate sharply each year and do not resolve CMMC, NIST 800-171, HIPAA, or PCI DSS obligations. For federal contractors and small businesses alike, the lowest-risk and most cost-effective path is a structured, phased modernization plan — executed before the deadline, not after an audit or incident forces the issue.

Fleet Audit & Prioritization

We begin every engagement with a full inventory of your Windows 10 devices, cross-referenced against Windows 11 hardware requirements (TPM 2.0, compatible CPU, storage). You receive a tiered report: upgrade-ready devices, devices requiring hardware replacement, and a prioritized remediation schedule based on your compliance exposure and operational risk.

TPM 2.0-Ready Hardware Procurement via SDVOSB Channels

As a certified SDVOSB, we source Windows 11-ready commercial and government-grade hardware at competitive contract pricing. Federal agencies, contractors, and small businesses can procure through us with confidence — meeting both technical requirements and small business set-aside obligations in a single transaction.

Zero-Downtime Rollouts

Modernization should not interrupt your mission. We deploy upgrades and device replacements in coordinated waves, scheduling around your operational calendar and preserving user data, application settings, and network configurations throughout. Whether you are managing a single office or a distributed fleet across multiple sites, your team stays productive from day one.
