4. Suggestion on Windows 10
ITU recommends that you do not upgrade to Windows 10 for any PC / notebook running CPCE Systems
(for example Room Booking, SMS) at this moment. It is known that new Operating Systems usually
have technical issues that need to be fixed in subsequent releases, ITU will continue to work
with vendors for testing the compatibility of Windows 10 and various systems.
Regarding your personal PC/notebooks, you had better follow the guidance of their suppliers to
decide whether upgrade to Windows 10 or not. For example SONY, explicitly not recommend
their products to be upgraded to Windows 10 until further announcement.
Users may observe Microsoft website below for requirement and steps for upgrading Windows 10 if necessary.
