Overcome the Windows 10 EOL Headache: Extend Device Lifespan on a Budget with ChromeOS Flex
The 14th October 2025 deadline to upgrade or replace any Windows 10 devices in your IT estate is fast approaching. This poses significant challenges for organisations, including rising security risks and compliance concerns as your operating system falls further out of date, versus the daunting cost of hardware replacement.
Imagine the relief of knowing your sensitive data is secure and your workflows remain uninterrupted, all without straining your budget. ChromeOS Flex offers a powerful and cost-effective solution.
ChromeOS Flex breathes new life into your existing laptops, PCs and tablets, transforming them into fast, secure devices that can be deployed quickly and are simple to manage from anywhere, at scale.
Google's robust security architecture, automatic updates and intuitive features such as Context-Aware Access negates the requirement for expensive third-party cybersecurity software, unlocking funds that can be refocused towards optimising operations while ensuring your peace of mind about information governance.
Key Benefits
- Enhanced Security: Protect sensitive data with Google's robust security architecture.
- Improved Efficiency: Empower staff with a fast, intuitive OS.
- Reduced Costs: Extend device lifespan and minimise IT management burden.
- Seamless Transition: Easily migrate to a modern, cloud-first computing environment.
Take the First Step: ChromeOS Readiness Assessment
Before making any commitment, it's important to understand your infrastructure's readiness. Google's ChromeOS Readiness Tool provides a comprehensive assessment of which users are ready to make the move to cloud computing. This data-driven approach is invaluable to IT admins, allowing for informed decisions about your Trust's digital transformation strategy.
Vitally, the tool is deployed discretely, doesn't impact your customer-facing services and shares absolutely no data outside of your organisation.
Your Road to Recovery: Jumpstart
Getech, in collaboration with ChromeOS, has unlocked funding for UK businesses, charities, NHS Trusts and Local Authorities to put ChromeOS Flex to the test in their own environment. This managed proof of concept programme helps you to quickly and cost-effectively explore ChromeOS Flex as a solution to the Windows 10 problem with the full support of Google's #1 Premier Partner in the UK and Ireland.
