For most organizations running Windows 7, the lack of application
compatibility is a primary roadblock preventing them from adopting Windows 10.
While the end-of-service (EOS) date for Windows 7 was January 14, 2020, it is
reported that 28 percent of all Windows PCs are still running Windows 7.
For organizations seeking a path to migration from Windows 7 to Windows 10
without losing access to the critical Windows 7 applications their business
relies upon,
Cameyo and
Softwatch have teamed up to offer organizations an
application compatibility checklist and assessments of their environments to
help ease the transition.
The Windows 7 Application Migration Program provides
organizations the educational resources needed to guide them through their
options when it comes to Windows 7 migration. Regardless of what mix of
platforms a company is considering migrating to - Windows 10, Windows Virtual
Desktop (WVD), Chrome, MacOS, or Linux - the Windows 7 Application Migration
Program provides the following tools to make the migration simple:
- Windows
7 Application Compatibility Checklist - A simple 9-point checklist to help
navigate and identify the core issues an organization needs to consider to

"Many organizations today still rely on at least two to three legacy
Windows 7 applications that are not yet compatible with Windows 10, putting
them in the unenviable position of deciding between signing up for expensive
Extended Security Updates (ESUs) or disrupting their business by losing access
to critical apps," said Andrew Miller, Co-Founder and CEO of Cameyo.
"With Cameyo's virtual application delivery platform, you can easily
migrate to Windows 10 (or any other operating system of choice) and provide
access to all of your Windows 7 apps on any device, from the browser. We're
here to help streamline your Windows 7 migration plan."
"When planning your Windows 7 migration, it's critical that you have an
accurate picture of which applications are not compatible with Windows 10, and
how many people in your organization are actually still using those
applications," said Dror Leshem, CEO of Softwatch. "Softwatch maps
and measures your organization's real app usage to help provide a clear roadmap
to cloud migration."
