On October 14, 2025, Windows 10 will reach its end of support. Without updates or security patches, Windows 10 devices will become more vulnerable to security risks and may struggle to keep up with your business’s needs. For organizations with hundreds (or thousands) of Windows 10 devices, this is more than a technical concern—it’s a business challenge.
The End of Life for Windows 10 poses significant challenges, especially with Lansweeper revealing that 32% to 42% of devices lack compatibility with Windows 11. Preparing for this shift requires a proactive and thoughtful strategy.
There are options for an efficient and budget-friendly alternative, enabling businesses to adopt Windows 11 without investing in new hardware. By leveraging virtualization through smart choices, organizations can extend the usability of their existing devices while strengthening endpoint security.
Replacing all your old PCs with modern hardware can be expensive and wasteful, but there’s another way to save both your devices and your budget: convert them into thin clients.
Here’s how you can make the smarter choice.
Why Thin Clients Are a Smarter Choice
Instead of replacing outdated PCs, you can repurpose them into secure and efficient endpoints with ZeeTim’s thin client OS. This approach extends your devices’ lifespan, saves costs, and ensures your IT infrastructure is ready for the future.
Extend Device Lifespan
With a thin client OS, you can give aging PCs a second life by converting them into new-gen endpoints connecting seamlessly to VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) or DaaS (Desktop as a Service) environments.
Unlike Windows devices, our thin clients don’t rely on heavy local processing. Everything runs on the server side, with only minimal processing power needed on the device itself. This means that 4GB RAM and 64GB storage are generally more than sufficient for thin clients to operate smoothly and efficiently
Benefits:
- Extend device usability by up to 8 years.
- Avoid unnecessary e-waste and the costs of purchasing new hardware.
Enhanced Security and Control
Thin clients are inherently more secure:
- No local data is stored on the device, reducing data breach risks.
- Users cannot make system modifications, ensuring a controlled, reliable environment.
- All updates and management are handled centrally through ZeeTim’s management console, simplifying IT operations.

- Reduce OPEX (operational expenses) with minimal energy usage and low maintenance.
- Scale easily and manage all devices from a single, intuitive management console, reducing IT overhead
Sustainability Made Easy
Repurposing old hardware directly supports your sustainability goals:
- No need to invest in new hardware and throw away perfectly working devices
- Thin clients consume significantly less power than traditional desktops.
