Challenges of Migrating From Windows 7

Windows 7 has officially died. Except for the long term support candidate which has a couple of years left, all the other versions of Windows 7 don't receive any updates. This means, the operating system is the favourite staple for the hackers now because they are now free to find security holes and exploit those because Microsoft wouldn't repair those. You might have heard about the latest Wannacry ransomware which utilised the drawbacks of Windows 7 and held millions of computer users for ransom.

If you have not updated to the modern Windows 10 yet, you must do it now. Windows 10 is the safest, fastest and most beautiful operating system from Microsoft and more importantly, it is actively supported by Microsoft. This means, even if there are security holes in this OS, Microsoft would quickly plug it.

However, upgrading the OS for the whole organisation is certainly different from upgrading the personal computer. Firstly, the computers might not be at one place. Secondly, they might have internal applications which need to be tested before the upgrade because breaking these applications is fatal for the business. Thirdly, taking back up of all the files, folders, database and applications is different because it’s not possible to sit at every computer exclusively. That's why one should approach the professional agencies who offer Windows 7 migration service. They take care of all these issues mentioned here and also go about their job swiftly and efficiently.
