Developing a migration and deployment plan for Windows 10 is harder than it looks – Windows 10 is leading the way to an entirely new world of end-user computing.

Don’t let this migration be a repeat of Windows XP:
- Windows 7 is nearing its end of life – learn from your mistakes and make this migration better.
- Legacy hardware and software will make the migration painful.
- There are security and privacy downsides.
Windows 10 is a transformative change. Here are three reasons why this is not just another typical migration:
- The migration needs to happen quicker than ever.
- It is the “last” version of Windows according to Microsoft.
- Windows 10 opens the door to broad end-user computing transformation.
