This is regarding upgradation of Windows OS 7/8.1 to windows version 10/11 of DOP Systems.
As you are aware Microsoft has declared the end of support for IE (Internet Explorer). IE is the common bowser to access Department of Post applications in Post Offices. However, backward compatibility support is extended by Microsoft till January 2023. In view of phasing out of IE by Microsoft, it is required to access the applications through the edge browser, which requires to have windows 10/11 OS in the Post offices. Any delay in this up gradation may lead to inaccessibility of the business applications beyond January 2023 apart from putting our operations at security risk.
