Prepare for Windows 10 Migration the Gartner Way

By Jeremy Zoss, Managing Editor, Code42

It’s 2017, which means there’s a good chance your company is preparing to migrate to Windows 10. The operating system may have launched back in 2015, but this is the year that Gartner predicts enterprise adoption of the operating system will truly take off, hitting its peak in 2020.

What caused the delay in adoption? Based on a Spiceworks survey, concerns included stability, application compatibility, and security. Perhaps the largest factor, however, was large corporations opting to combine their move to Windows 10 with a device migration. Typically, these purchases occur every two to four years, so may companies were simply waiting for the next hardware purchase cycle to switch to the new operating system.

Whether combined with new machines or upgrading existing hardware, there are many factors to consider during device migrations, and the costs may surprise you.
