Transition to Windows 10


Microsoft has announced the end of extended support for Windows 7 on 14 January, 2020. End of support means Microsoft will no longer provide automatic fixes, security updates and technical support for Windows 7. Started in December 2017,  ICTO has been arranging operating system upgrades from Windows 7 to Windows 10 gradually for all computers issued by ICTO. To date, more than 1,000 desktop and laptop users have been upgraded to new computers with Windows 10. Hereafter, all newly installed computers will have Windows 10 installed by default.

For other users, we are continuing the upgrade of computer according to the computer’s years of use.
