Windows readiness

Practical steps for planning your next technology decision.

What to check

Check the specific computer against the operating system’s current hardware requirements and application needs. Inventory software, peripherals and licence entitlements. Create and verify a backup, plan user downtime, then test critical applications and printers after migration.

In practice

An existing Windows licence may apply only to a particular edition or device. Confirm activation and compatibility before purchasing an upgrade or wiping the current installation.
