One of our blogs this month outlined whether you should upgrade the components in your PC, or whether you should just replace it. This is all well and good if you know what's in your machine, but what if you don't? Our HowTo this month explains where you can find details on the internals of your PC.
...that is the question. Something we encounter fairly regularly in the support side of the company is advising on whether a client should upgrade an aging PC, or just buy a new one. In this article, we will outline some of the factors that we consider when making this decision.
You may have seen one of the many news stories in recent months that blue light from monitors can be harmful to your health and interrupt your sleep patterns. In this month's HowTo, we look at a Windows 10 feature that seeks to rectify this.

We thought it might be useful to provide a brief overview of the mobile world in our how to section this month. With the lines between the various devices we use becoming increasingly blurred, many people spend at least as much time looking at their mobile as they do their "main" device.

Windows 10 defaults to collecting vast amounts of your data (anonymously). Unless you've deliberately told it otherwise, your machine will be doing this now. This month's HowTo blog explains how to locate Windows 10's privacy settings and change this if you prefer that it didn't.
Over the past few months, we have seen an increase in reports from users about a certain type of spam that we haven't covered in our blogs before. Rather than trying to get you to click something so they can install something nasty on your machine, this variant tries to embarrass you into handing over your details. We provide an example of this and also explain what's going on here and what you should do about it.
