According to the survey, the company will consider upgrading to Windows 10 Enterprise Edition after half a year

According to a recent survey from Microsoft System Center expert Adaptiva, 71% of IT leaders will wait for more than half a year before upgrading to Windows 10. According to the survey conducted at the 2015 Microsoft Lighting Conference, 49% said they plan to upgrade to Windows 10 after a year or more. The number of computers exceeds 100,000, and 80% of the larger companies say they plan to adopt Windows 10 one or more years later.

Only 11% of respondents said their computers are still running Windows XP. Adaptiva's similar survey at the TechEd 2014 conference last year showed that this figure was 53%, indicating that Windows XP is accelerating away from the corporate world.

Surveys show that the biggest barrier to upgrading to Windows 10 is application compatibility and time commitment (98%), followed by user training (35%%), and product maturity (23%). Most (54%) of respondents said that cloud computing has no impact on their ability to upgrade and patch applications or migrate operating systems. The other finding was that the vast majority of respondents were running Windows 7 (89%) and/or Windows 8 (57%).
