Outdated hardware is slowing down the US Marine Corps' migration to
Windows 10. The Marines had estimated that they could update 60 to 70
percent of their computers remotely, but that figure has been revised
to 10 percent after they ran into problems with older hardware that "is
having more difficulty accepting Windows 10 than hardware that is new."
Having to perform the updates physically is adding time and cost to the
project. The Department of Defense's (DOD) upgrade to Windows 10 has a
"secure host baseline," which is important because it will be the first
time DOD has common security configurations across all PCs. The National
Security Agency's Information Assurance Directorate said that migrating
to Windows 10 with or without the baseline security configuration would
provide better security than not upgrading at all.
