Modernize Your Endpoints Without Replacing Your PCs
Windows 10 end of support is forcing organizations to rethink aging PC fleets. Meanwhile, AI-driven infrastructure demand is raising memory and hardware costs, while ransomware and security threats continue to grow. IT teams are under pressure to reduce cost and risk at the same time.
LEAF OS transforms existing devices into secure, centrally managed cloud workspace endpoints - lowering costs, improving performance, strengthening endpoint security, and extending hardware life to support sustainability goals.
Deploy LEAF OS in minutes and connect users to Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, Citrix, Omnissa Horizon, Amazon WorkSpaces, Microsoft RDS, Parallels RAS, other leading VDI platforms, and web apps.
Windows 10 End-of-Support Is Here
Support for Windows 10 has ended, and many PCs and laptops cannot upgrade to Windows 11 due to strict hardware requirements such as TPM 2.0, CPU compatibility, and memory limitations.
Organizations now face two costly options
- Replace large numbers of PCs
- Continue running unsupported operating systems
LEAF OS provides a smarter alternative. Instead of replacing hardware, organizations can repurpose PCs, laptops, and thin clients into secure, centrally managed endpoints that access the latest Windows environments in VDI or the cloud - improving operational efficiency while extending device lifecycles.
Lower refresh costs
Extend the life of existing devices and avoid unnecessary capex.
Platform flexibility
Choose the VDI/DaaS platform that fits your strategy.
Security posture
Move away from unmanaged endpoints and reduce attack surface.
Sustainability
Extend lifecycles and reduce e-waste through repurposing.
Rising Hardware Costs Make PC Replacement Expensive
Global demand for semiconductor components continues to increase the cost of computing hardware. Supply constraints affecting DRAM, storage, and other key PC components are making large-scale device refreshes harder to justify. LEAF OS helps IT teams modernize aging endpoint environments with a more cost-effective, secure, and sustainable approach.
Reduce capex
Delay refresh cycles while maintaining modern workspace access.
Reuse assets
Maximize the value of existing PC and thin client investments.
Lower risk
Move away from unsupported OS endpoints with better control.
Improve sustainability
Reduce e-waste by extending device lifecycles through repurposing.
Extend the Life of Your PCs. Secure and Centrally Manage Your Endpoints.
Windows 10 end of support and Windows 11 hardware requirements are forcing organizations to reevaluate aging endpoint fleets. With its small, secure OS footprint, LEAF OS can transform many existing PCs, laptops, and thin clients with just 8GB of storage and 4GB of RAM into high-performance, cloud-ready endpoints.
LEAF OS delivers a fast, consistent, PC-like experience while improving endpoint security and simplifying centralized management. Deep optimization for integrated VDI and DaaS platforms, extensive peripheral compatibility, and a lightweight, secure design help organizations extend hardware life by several years without replacing devices.
PMC helps IT teams streamline LEAF OS deployment and ongoing maintenance through a single pane of glass, making it easier to manage devices from anywhere with greater efficiency and control.
