- #7 Avoid business disruptions and use this as an opportunity to modernize your application stack by moving to it to Microsoft cloud.
- #9 I don’t show the breakdown by Win 10 build here: Strangely enough we do have a chunk of Windows 8.1 computers in the mix We have 1 windows XP computer still hanging around… That support ended April 8, 2014…
- #10 End of support also means you will no longer have access to critical security updates, opening the potential for business interruptions. Worse still, without regular security bulletins it impossible to guarantee protection against hackers and malware, or prevent unwanted access to your sensitive data. Without upgrading you risk losing precious data, or having issues with your business applications performance, because of potential weaknesses in your environment 1. https://cybersecurityventures.com/hackerpocalypse-cybercrime-report-2016/
- #11 Windows 7 was first commercially available in October of 2009, so we have about 10 years of evolution and patching and updates to contend with Server 2008 was first commercially available in February of 2008 Server 2009 was first commercially released in October of 2009 and was x64 bit only
- #12 The “Free” upgrade ended on July 29, 2016 There are some reports that it still works, however it’s not an officially sanctioned process and our assumption is that if you’re thinking of upgrading you’d be better off putting that money towards a new computer with a longer expected life.
- #14 Microsoft Lifecycle Policy offers 10 years of support (5 years of Mainstream Support and 5 years of Extended Support) for 2008 and 2008 R2 versions of SQL Server and Windows Server. As per the policy, after the end of the Extended Support period there will be no patches or security updates, which may cause security risks.

- #16 End of support means the end of regular security updates. With cyberattacks becoming more sophisticated and frequent, running apps and data on unsupported versions can create significant security and compliance risks. The 2008 family of products was great for its time, but we highly recommend upgrading to the most current versions for better performance, efficiency, and regular security updates
