It has been almost half a year since Microsoft
released Windows 10, and the decision whether or not to migrate computers to
this latest release of Microsoft’s flagship operating system is going to be on
the minds of administrators for 2016.
The shift from releasing a new version of Windows
on the desktop every two to three years to ‘Windows as a Service’ (WaaS) means
that Windows 10 will be delivered in continuous releases with branches acting
as ‘stepping stones’ to new builds. This model has some security benefits to
it, but also potential drawbacks.
I recently presented a webinar titled Windows 10 is here
– Are you ready to migrate? on ESET’s BrightTALK channel, looking into not just how Windows 10’s new model of
editions, builds and branches work, but also some of the most interesting
security features. I also looked at some of the privacy issues surrounding this
new version of Windows.
Please note that a free registration is required to
view this presentation, as well as others my fellow researchers and I have
recorded on a range of security topics. If you’re not up for that, or don’t
have an hour to spare, you can download the slide deck from the White Papers section of We
Live Security.
I hope you find this webinar helpful. Feel free to
leave a message below if you have any questions or comments about the webinar.

knowledgebase contains the latest information about compatibility
with Windows 10.
