While the devices will still run, from January 2020, Microsoft will have withdrawn its support which means there will be no access to security updates.
As a result of this, there is the opportunity to upgrade devices to ones which are compatible with Windows 10 and will allow the school to flourish with the very best technology.
We work closely with Acer and as a result of Microsoft’s Windows 7 coming to the ‘end of life’ phase, the electronics company have decided to offer some brilliant deals which can make the transition a lot easier to handle.
When upgrading to Windows 10, you could earn up to £150 cash back if you trade in your old device.
These offers are available for student entry level notebooks, student/teacher laptops, teacher/business manager laptops and admin desktops.
These percentages are compared to Windows 7 devices and the battery life on Windows 10 is up to three times longer than old devices.
It can often cause anxiety, moving to a new system but Windows 10 has many of the same features and capabilities of Windows 7 built in. But, Windows 7 is now running with technology which is a decade old and so there will be important innovations which will only benefit you.

As always, we are more than happy to help here at Computeam and we can offer you a free report for your school below or find out more information here: https://www.computeam.co.uk/windows-7-end-of-life-discover-your-options
