In October 2025, support and security updates for Windows 10 will end, requiring a need for many businesses to transition to Windows 11 or Windows 12. A report by Canalys shared this could turn 240 million PCs into e-waste.
A recent survey by Forrester of over 650 IT administrators reveals that managing and securing endpoints are the top challenges to achieving a modern endpoint. With that said, admins claim their primary focus this year is to update their organisations’ endpoint strategies, putting special attention on AI, web applications, and cloud technologies.
These challenges and priorities will direct a large number of businesses to transition to the cloud this year, with many considering the move from Windows to ChromeOS.
ChromeOS’s cloud-based operation system enhances security by leveraging its cloud-centric architecture, reducing the risk of data breaches and simplifying device management. It also boosts employee productivity with faster startup times and a seamless integration with leading software providers. Businesses can benefit from financial savings due to lower maintenance costs and extended device lifespan.
As companies increasingly embrace cloud solutions and AI integration in their workflows, ChromeOS emerges as a pivotal platform to support these modernisation efforts, aligning OS capabilities with evolving business needs.
