About this tag
ITAD (IT Asset Disposition) discussions on WindowsForum.com focus on the strategic management of end-of-life hardware, particularly in response to Windows 10's end of support on October 14, 2025. Topics include secure data sanitization, device decommissioning, and value recovery through refurbishment or recycling. Users explore how organizations can treat refresh cycles as opportunities for cost savings and sustainability, rather than one-time disposal events.
