Staying current is crucial for maintaining productivity and security, especially today. Outdated, unsupported endpoint operating systems pose a high risk for your company and data. If you’re using a Lenovo thin client powered by LeTOS/VXL Linux, you might be feeling the pinch of an outdated operating system. But fear not—there’s a seamless way to move beyond the technical dead end. Stratodesk NoTouch OS revitalizes your existing Lenovo device with a modern, future-proof, secure operating system. Here’s how you can make the transition smoothly through Stratodesk’s “software trade-up” program.

Why Upgrade from LeTOS?

LeTOS, Lenovo’s proprietary thin client operating system, has served its purpose well. However, as technology advances, support and security updates for LeTOS by VXL are becoming scarce or nonexistent. This leaves your system vulnerable to security risks and performance issues. Upgrading to a modern, secure OS not only enhances security but also improves overall functionality and compatibility with the latest applications and protocols.
