A lot of companies dont want to move to Win10 and its not a small number because of the constant issues. My company is sticking with Win7 for the time being.

MS is going to have another XP on their hands with 7 if they don't fix the 10 releases. And that's BY FAR the last thing they want...

My IT guys said that at a conference they went to, over 50% of the companies are sticking with Win7.

I've seen a lot of companies moving to Win10 only due to the inability of new hardware to securely run Win7. You want Kaby Lake? 10 only. YOu want Kaby Refresh or the various other names it's taken? 10 only...

Thats the thing, a lot of businesses are running older hardware and dont need to upgrade, my company is one of them.

I know a bunch of companies that couldn't hold out on refreshes anymore, so upgraded. they finally got to the point where the hardware simply wasn't reliable enough at that age to risk not upgrading.

There are quite a few but just as many who havent including much of the Federal Government in my area. My old computer shop has a lot of contracts in the area and most are using moderately old systems.

I seem to recall as of at least late 2017 the Navy was still paying for custom support on XP.
