Operating System
When it comes to your laptop or desktop computer, one of the most important things you can keep updated is your operating system. In years past, updates were largely neglected by many computer owners, resulting in issues with their devices. These days, Windows and other operating systems pretty much force you to keep things updated, with pop-ups and other notifications. Anytime you notice there are updates for your device, we recommend you install them. Keeping your operating system updated will ensure any security issues or problems are patched, reducing your risk for problems down the road. Windows 7 support ended on January 14th, 2020. Devices that still utilize Windows 7 will no longer receive updates, putting their computers at risk. Those that use Windows 7 for business may still receive support, however, it is going to cost them. We recommend updating to Windows 10 as soon as possible. Along with having lots of new features, it will also ensure your device is safer and more protected.
