Microsoft Windows 7 is quickly coming to it's End of Life. While that doesn't mean that your computers will stop working or become obsolete, it does mark an important shift and new risks to your business network.

So what does "End Of Life" mean? It means that Microsoft has stopped updating your Windows 7 operating system.

New feature development for Windows 7 was stopped January 13, 2015, putting the software on extended support.  Extended support ends on January 14, 2020.

That means from that date forward, as new exploits, bugs, and issues that arise, they will not be patched, leaving your computers open to attack from hackers, from malware and may become incompatible with new software.

Virtual desktops are maybe the most interesting new feature in Windows 10.  They allow you to group your open windows into different screens to help you focus on the task at hand, while still having easy access to everything you need.

Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows start menu over the years, and we're happy to report that it's at it's best in Windows 10.  The new start menu is a mixture of the reliable Windows 7 start menu that you've grown accustomed to, with new features called Live Tiles, which are customizable square tiles that show relevent information, and can be rearranged to display your most frequently used apps.

Windows 10 comes with vastly better virus protection out of the box. This means that you're far safer under the new system from the plethora of attacks, malware and virus's that are constantly peppering your systems.

Bringing your computers up to date with Windows 10 future proofs them until about 2025.   We can upgrade a computer in about 2 hours with backups, ensuring that all software, printers, drivers and other devices will work as expected.
