Windows 11 Migration Resources

Windows 10 End of Support is October 14, 2025

Windows 10 end of support is less than a year away. Continuing to run Windows 10 beyond October 2025 means paying for Extended Security Updates (ESUs) to remain up to date on all the most important Windows Updates. To continue using Windows 10 after end of support without ESUs would be negligence of the highest order.

That makes now the time to get moving on your journey to Windows 11. This starts with your applications.

Our customers know Cloudpaging is the fastest route to modernizing application management. For the likes of Kingston University, who has been virtualizing its application estate with Cloudpaging since Windows XP, migrating applications to Windows 11 “will literally be an overnight experience”.

In this article, I’d like to highlight resources that can help you expedite your Windows 11 adoption, reduce adoption friction and costs, and most importantly – eliminate the need for future application migrations across modern (and future) physical and virtual Windows desktop environments.

Windows 11 Migration Resources

Our team of Windows experts have put together multiple pieces specifically designed for IT teams planning Windows 11 migrations.

Windows 11 Migration Guide

Start off by identifying requirements for Windows 11 devices. From there, it’s all about ensuring all your applications can run on the latest physical and virtual Windows desktops. Whether you’re utilizing physical endpoints or adopting virtual desktop solutions – including Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, Citrix VDI and DaaS, Amazon WorkSpaces, and VMware Horizon – this guide outlines how the power of containers enable you to accelerate your migration while maximizing migration success, IT agility, and cost efficiency.

How to Securely Run Legacy Applications on Windows 11

Many of our customers have legacy applications serving business-critical functions. However, most of them have requirements that prevent them from running on modern Windows desktop environments in a secure and compliant manner. Prior to Cloudpaging, many enterprises were forced to maintain large VDI pools on unsupported Windows OS.
