Have you put off your Windows upgrade?

You’re way past due – all support for Windows 7 and Server 2008 ended on January 14, 2020. This means that Microsoft will no longer offer patches or security updates for Windows 7.

“Every week that goes by, you’re putting yourself at greater risk,” says Chuck. “Windows is no longer patching those exploits that we know get taken advantage of.”

During this episode, Chuck and Brian discuss:

Why Is This Important To Windows 7 Users?
The primary concern with end of support for any software (but especially something as critical as an operating system like Windows 7) is that there are no further security patches or updates, which can have dangerous effects:

• Your computers could be infected by malware,
• The antivirus you have could be out of date,
• Your online banking transaction protection may expire, and
• Your financial data could be exposed to theft.

What Should Windows 7 Users Do?
You should begin your upgrade to Windows 10 as quickly as possible on all of your workstations. Upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10:

• Makes computers run smoother and faster.
• Provides a more economical use of memory and disk space.
• Improves security.
• Boots up your computer from sleep mode faster than before.
• Provides many other benefits.

Do You Need New Hardware?
Make sure your current hardware is compatible with the most current Windows Operating System (Windows 10). This means checking:

• The space on your solid-state drive or hard drive.
• The RAM or memory requirements.
• The CPU or Processor.
