Support for Windows 7 has now ended
Now's the time to upgrade your devices
All technology has a lifecycle, including software, and Windows 7 is no exception. Released over 10 years ago it has officially reached ‘end of support’. Now’s the time to upgrade to new, modern devices to boost productivity, increase security and maximise efficiency.
What does end of support mean?
Devices still running Windows 7 won't receive vital security updates, software updates or technical support. Essentially this could leave your business open to imminent risk. Without the protection of the latest security updates you could be vulnerable to viruses, malware and open to cyberattacks.

Microsoft isn’t your only option when migrating away from Windows 7
If your business needs to migrate away from Windows 7, then upgrading to Windows 10 isn’t your only option. You could move over to Apple devices and macOS.
We know that lots of people use Apple products as their personal devices, and they’d love to use them in the workplace too. According to a recent survey conducted by Apple management software provider Jamf, 72% of enterprise employees would choose Apple devices given the chance¹. So why not give them what they want and are comfortable with? It could help you to attract and retain talent too.
Apple products are powerful and intuitive and are built to be secure, reliable and compatible with any office environment. Everything works together seamlessly to give the best experience that delivers performance when you need it.
Why choose macOS for your business?
Built for productivity in the workplace
macOS gives you a collection of powerful apps to work with such as Pages, Numbers and Keynote, to help you produce and create documents with ease. Seamlessly transfer files and other data from Windows and even continue to work on them on your Apple device. macOS is compatible with Windows and easily supports business apps such as Microsoft 365.
Devices are secure by design
Security starts with the OS itself, with numerous technically sophisticated runtime protections built in to keep the system safe. To address new threats, macOS can do daily checks and can auto download any new validated updates. With every update it continues to improve on security and privacy so you can rely on constant protection.
Easy to integrate into existing Windows systems
Lots of businesses already run Windows systems, and a move to a new OS means there are lots of things to consider. macOS integrates easily into existing Windows environments and works seamlessly with key infrastructure services.
Large scale deployment is simple
Easily deploy and manage devices, even on a larger scale. Using Apple Business Manager, IT administrators can access the web-based portal to set up and configure Apple devices automatically – eliminating the need for them to handle the devices before users.
