I worked for a fortune 500 manufacturing company not long ago (2-3 years). Their main ERP was running on an AS400 mainframe and multiple pseudo-linked applications that were recently (4 years ago) updated to run on Windows 7 (which took 7 years to complete).

Not every business is a tech-first company. Plenty of huge companies have legacy systems in place that can't be pushed to Windows 10 with a simple update.
