Legacy Software

Microsoft Windows 7 Extended Support ended on 14th January 2023 which means that Microsoft will no longer provide security patches or support.

For businesses that run specialist applications, including more obscure software such as CCTV, Door Entry Access Controls or specialist retail applications, this can pose a serious threat to security if these products continue to run in Windows 7.

If you have Cyber Essentials, you will no longer be compliant if you continue to use Windows 7.

In this scenario, the options can be limited, particularly if the software vendor is no longer trading and the software is underpinning critical business processes and replacing or upgrading the software will be expensive, time-consuming and disruptive.

The alternative solution is to purchase a container solution, where the problematic software is lifted into a self-contained environment which is fully compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Hanaxion has access to a Microsoft-approved vendor who has a 100% success rate of migrating products into a Windows 10 compatible environment and which is also compatible with AVD, Citrix and VMware and is more competitively priced than the better-known market brands.
