Here’s what we achieved:
- Seamless performance: The software runs perfectly inside the virtual machine.
- Future-proofing: No reliance on aging Windows 10 machines.
- Cost savings: No additional licensing fees or major re-development costs.
- Scalability: The solution now powers 20 stores — and can be rolled out to even more.
One of our clients — a major jewellery retailer — faced a critical problem. Their point-of-sale software, vital for day-to-day operations, was over 20 years old and could only run on Windows 10.
With Windows 10 nearing end-of-life and hardware aging, they needed a solution that didn’t involve expensive rewrites or risky replacements.
When technology moves fast, businesses can get stuck.
That’s where we came in.
At Digital Education Systems, we specialise in creative, practical IT solutions.
We cloned their existing Windows 10 drive into a virtual machine and deployed it on Ubuntu Linux.
This project proves that with the right expertise, you don’t have to leave critical legacy systems behind.
You can adapt, modernize, and thrive.
