Plan Your Move Off Windows 10 Without The Rush
Don’t let Windows 10 going end of life result in your IT security falling off a cliff. Extended Security Updates are now available which lets you upgrade to Windows 11 with less haste and more control. With Viadex F.R.A.M.E we can support you in the upgrade process whilst keeping your users secure and productive.
Delivered with Viadex F.R.A.M.E - a Framework, Roadmap, Adoption, Measurable Value, and Enablement method.
Why Act Now
After the deadline, Windows 10 devices stop receiving free security updates, which raises risk, complicates audits and leaves your organisation vulnerable. You do not need a big-bang project - you need a modular approach to keep your estate secure and moving forward whilst keeping user productivity at the forefront.
A calm, two-track plan (not a scramble)
Some parts of your environment can upgrade now, and some cannot because of critical apps, hardware limits, team capacity or hardware budget. With a mapped out two-track approach, you keep what must stay on Windows 10 temporarily protected with ESU and move everything else to Windows 11 and Intune in clear waves that reduce risk and noise for users. ESU buys time - it is not meant to be the end state.
What you get from the Free Assessment
A risk and readiness snapshot of your Windows 10 footprint, including security exposure, key apps, and obvious blockers, so everyone starts with the same facts.
A side-by-side path that shows which devices should get ESU cover for now and which can move first, with suggested timing that fits your change calendar.
A practical first 90-day plan* with activities, owners, and checkpoints, so you can show leadership a clear route that does not overload the team.
How F.R.A.M.E is Delivered (F.R.A.M.E in practice)
The process of delivering F.R.A.M.E starts with mapping a simple roadmap that you can act on. This roadmap will help you plan the adoption in sensible waves, track measurable value such as fewer vulnerable devices and cleaner cutovers, and enable your team so the programme keeps moving even when you are busy. F.R.A.M.E stands for
F.R.A.M.E = Framework, Roadmap, Adoption, Measurable Value, Enablement - a practical way to let your team lead while we enable
Key Pains Addressed
Many teams are dealing with mergers, acquisitions, divestures or site changes, limited capacity, and compliance pressures. If you are consolidating estates after M&A, working with an overstretched IT team, or preparing for audits and sector standards, this approach is built to help you move at a manageable pace without losing control of cost or security.
Outcomes you can share with stakeholders:
Security maintained through the transition instead of gambling on unsupported endpoints.
Predictable timelines and spend because the difficult corners are isolated early and handled on their own track.
Less disruption for users thanks to wave sequencing, simple comms, and clear rollback points.
Stronger governance with an assessment and plan you can take to audit and leadership.
Frequently asked
Can we use ESU instead of migrating?
ESU is a short-term bridge that keeps security updates coming after the deadline while you complete the move; it is not meant to be the permanent answer.
What if some hardware cannot run Windows 11 yet?
We create exception paths, keep those devices protected with ESU for a defined period, and schedule refresh or alternatives without holding up the rest. We then work with you to scope those devices for hardware upgrades where appropriate.
Will our apps work on Windows 11?
Most estates move with familiar tooling; we still test critical workloads and add mitigations where needed, then roll out in waves to reduce risk.
How soon could we start?
After the assessment, we confirm scope, agree the first 90-day plan, and book the pilot waves.
