Windows 10 End of Life: What Businesses Need to Know (Uncut)
Windows 10 support ends in October 2025 — but what does that really mean for organisations still running it?
In this uncut episode of Experts in Polo Shirts, Synextra consultants Matt and Chris dive deep into the real-world impact of Windows 10's end of life. From AVD multi-session migration to Windows 11 adoption, extended support costs, and the risks of doing nothing — this is a practical guide for IT leaders, sysadmins, and anyone tasked with upgrading a large estate.
They also explore common upgrade pain points, like legacy applications, FSLogix profiles, group policy rework, and migrating from on-prem file servers to OneDrive or SharePoint. Plus, there’s discussion around tools like Intune, Autopilot, MSIX, App-V, PDQ, and more — and whether Windows 12 is worth waiting for.
