For example, until 2014/2015 Fujitsu scanners came bundled with a version of VRS that had an embedded license to only work with Fujitsu scanners.
If the VRS version you are running came bundled with the scanner, you may not be able to get an upgraded version without purchasing it. Kofax VRS is only supported on Windows 10 when it is version 5.1 or higher (either Elite or a version provided by the scanner manufacture). If you use Kofax VRS with your scanner, this is another compatibility/upgrade issue that needs to be addressed. So, while some of the above scanners many work with Windows 10, you risk being one Windows update away from it not working.
Keep in mind that not supported doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t work with Windows 10 but it means that the manufacturer has not tested the scanner/drivers for use with Windows 10 and further updates to the scanner drivers will not be made. Well, the time has come to finally tackle these difficult upgrades because Microsoft is ending support for Windows 7 effective January 14, 2020. The stragglers are often those PC’s running applications with connected devices that aren’t so easy to upgrade because compatibility issues are unknown and companies lack the time or initiative to tackle those potential challenges. Most desktop/laptop PCs have been upgraded to windows 10 for some time now.
