I just Upgraded to Windows 10, as today was the first day of the free upgrade. They have removed Internet explorer completely and created a new system called Microsoft Edge. I was wondering if the military was going to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, even knowing that the Internet Explorer was now gone. I know almost everything in the Army for schools runs off of internet explorer, how will this change affect how the Military does schooling online?

SFC (Join to see) - we can only hope. Windows 8 was a miserable failure - luckily the Army didn't bother with it. I'm sure there will be plenty of technical issues to work out before the migration, but as with all their products, M$ will end support for Winblows 7 at some point in time.

I had heard that MS was ending support to 7 and 8 with in 1 year after the release of 10. hopefully the Army can get things together quickly. I have been trying to long into sites on the new EDGE program and so far no luck, I have to play with it a lot more.

Yes as soon as all the bugs are worked out of Windows 12 :-) although supposedly MS is ending with 10 and will simply keep updating it and not renaming it. Windows 8/10 are too oriented towards tablets/touch screen and less towards a desktop OS and for this reason MANY companies are lagging behind in making the switch. My company JUST updated to Win 7 and that is an ongoing nightmare and a half the way they are trying to lock everything down.
