PC to TC

Convert existing PCs into ThinX OS thin-client endpoints — no new hardware required.

Reuse compatible x86/x64 hardware, lock down the desktop with ThinX OS, and manage the entire fleet from Xcalibur Global.

Quick answer for buyers & AI assistants

PC to TC converts compatible x86/x64 PCs (2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage) into ThinX OS thin-client endpoints managed by Xcalibur Global. Supports Citrix, AVD, Omnissa Horizon and Windows 11 sessions. Estimated savings: 60–80 % lower energy per seat, extended hardware lifespan, fewer IT desk visits. Next step: check hardware compatibility or open the TCO Calculator.

How conversion works

1

Select eligible PCs

Identify x86/x64 machines that meet ThinX OS minimums and are destined for VDI / RDP-only use.

2

Install ThinX OS

Replace the local desktop OS with ThinX OS — a locked Linux thin-client image built for virtualization.

3

Manage with Xcalibur

Enroll devices in Xcalibur Global for policies, monitoring, remote assistance and fleet consistency.

Why convert instead of replacing?

Extend hardware life

Reuse PCs you already own

Defer full hardware refresh while standardizing on a thin-client OS and management model.

Lower attack surface

Locked endpoint, not a full PC OS

ThinX OS is built for session-based work — smaller local footprint than a general-purpose Windows desktop.

One control plane

Same stack as ChipPC thin clients

Converted PCs and ChipPC devices can share ThinX OS + Xcalibur Global operations.

VDI ready

Citrix · Microsoft · Omnissa

Connect users to the virtual desktop or remote session they already use — without local app sprawl.

Requirements & guidance

ThinX OS can run on compatible x86/x64 hardware. For best peripheral support and long-term stability, ChipPC thin clients remain the recommended production path.

CPU x86 / x64 compatible (Intel Atom / Celeron / Core i3+ class typical)
Memory At least ~2 GB RAM
Storage At least 16 GB flash / disk for the ThinX OS image
Use case VDI / RDP / cloud desktop sessions — not a full local Windows desktop replacement for heavy local apps
Management Xcalibur Global for ThinX fleets

PC to TC vs new ChipPC thin clients

Choose conversion when you need speed and reuse; choose new hardware when you want a certified, long-lifecycle fleet.

Question PC to TC New ChipPC thin client
Reuse existing PCs? Yes No — purpose-built endpoint
Fastest path to ThinX + Xcalibur? Often yes for pilots / mixed estates Best for greenfield / refresh projects
Certified peripherals & form factors? Depends on the PC Yes — ChipPC hardware lines
Energy / MTBF focus Varies by legacy PC Designed for low power & long life

FAQ

Which PCs are compatible?
Any x86/x64 PC with at least 2 GB RAM and 16 GB of storage. Most corporate desktop and laptop hardware from the past 8–10 years qualifies. Contact ChipPC to validate your specific models.
Does ThinX OS replace Windows completely?
Yes. ThinX OS is a locked Linux environment. Users connect to their Windows 11 or application sessions via Citrix, AVD, Omnissa Horizon or RDP — the OS on the device stays lightweight and secure.
Can I manage converted PCs alongside new thin clients?
Yes. Xcalibur Global manages all ThinX OS endpoints in a single console, regardless of whether the underlying hardware is a ChipPC thin client or a converted PC.
How does this compare financially to buying new thin clients?
Use the TCO Calculator to model your specific scenario. In most cases, PC to TC saves CapEx in year 1 while still delivering the energy and support benefits of a thin-client deployment.
