Managing Microsoft’s Transition to Windows 11

As part of Microsoft’s most recent transition to the Windows 11 operating system, Glacier Computer is no longer able to provide our customers with Windows 10 licenses. However, per Microsoft-approved policies, Glacier can sell our customers Windows 11 licenses and downgrade those licenses to Windows 10. 

All existing Windows 10 images remain available for shipment under the Microsoft Windows 11 downgrade rights.

If you are ready to transition to the new OS, Glacier’s KODIAK Rugged Computer has been successfully running the Windows 11 Pro OS for months in the real world at customer sites around the country.

Windows 10 customers can rest assured that we will continue to have access to bug fixes and security update support through October 14, 2025.
