How Windows 11 Is Killing Enterprise Legacy Apps

from The Windows Podcast with Fexingo: Microsoft, PC, and Enterprise Windows Conversations · host Fexingo

Episode 53 of The Windows Podcast: Lucas and Luna dig into a quiet but massive shift in enterprise IT: the end of 32-bit app compatibility in Windows 11. They trace the story from Microsoft's 2020 documentation warning to the June 2025 driver signing deadline, and explore what this means for the estimated 15 million legacy apps still running in Fortune 500 companies. With real examples like a major bank's COBOL-based mortgage calculator and a hospital's 16-bit patient scheduling tool, they explain why this isn't just a technical footnote—it's a forced modernization that could cost enterprises billions. And they discuss the surprising upside: better security, smaller attack surfaces, and a cleaner OS for everyone. #Windows11 #Microsoft #EnterpriseIT #LegacyApps #32Bit #AppCompatibility #DriverSigning #Windows10 #COBOL #Modernization #ITSecurity #AttackSurface #TechMigration #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Technology #WindowsPodcast #EnterpriseWindows Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
