The new version of Microsoft's venerable operating system has now been officially available for a few weeks now. However, it's pretty unlikely you'll have been offered it yet. It is possible to proactively install it in advance of it being pushed via Windows Update. Is that a good idea right now?
Many people that have been working from home recently will be familiar with the concept of "remote desktop" - allowing you to access a machine in your office from another device entirely. Microsoft's latest product takes that to the next level. What if that remote machine doesn't actually physically exist at all?
Following our article last month about the forthcoming release of Windows 11, a few new details have emerged. These include a few more snippets about what changes to expect in Windows 11, what to expect if you're planning on sticking with Windows 10 for a while, and some siginifcant changes coming to Microsoft Teams. We'll have a quick look at these in this blog,
Yes, that's right. Despite Microsoft previously suggesting that Windows 10 will be the "last version of Windows", they have decided to roll back on that decision and release a new numbered version of Windows. Here's what we know about it so far.
As regular readers will know, Microsoft have been releasing twice-yearly feature updates for Windows 10 for some time now, and this isn't changing any time soon. We have covered what to expect from each of these released so far, so with the spring update due soon, what changes should we expect to find this time?
Yep, it's that time again. Microsoft will soon be pushing out the second of the two annual feature updates to Windows 10 users in the coming days. As was the case last year, this autumn release is smaller in scope than the spring one. However, that doesn't mean that nothing's changing. Let's take a look at some differences you may notice.
Microsoft paused their twice-annual Windows 10 feature updates in the autumn and relegated that update to a "maintenance and security" release. It's therefore been a year since any significant new features have been added to the operating system, so what can we expect to find when the update starts rolling out later this month?
The days that it's possible to continue to safely run Microsoft's Windows 7 are literally numbered. Despite the fact stats suggest that millions have clung on to the aging operating system until the very last moment, all support is being withdrawn in January.
Another blog this month about something happening in six months, although you'll notice no inverted commas on this one as we're far more confident it's true! We're now entering the final few months of Windows 7 support by Microsoft.
WIndows 10 users should now be used to the twice-yearly feature updates to the operating system (as opposed to the usually monthly updates that are mostly security fixes). The next of these update is due imminently. In our blog this month, we take a look at what to expect this time around.
