More about Windows 10

If you are on a Windows computer (not a Mac), then eventually, you're likely to need to upgrade to Windows 10.

(If you're lucky, you're a Salvatorian Sister, and the Technology Team for the Province will help you, so you don't even need to read this unless you want to!)

For everyone else, I'll be wading through various articles and sharing what seems to be most pertinent during the next months. There's no rush to upgrade- you have until July 2016. And, yes, the upgrade is free if you have a licensed version of Windows XP, 7, or 8.1 on your machine right now.

Here's a pretty straightforward article from TechRadar, "Five things you should know about Windows 10". Click HERE.

One of the things it discusses is that Windows 10 for the Home user is designed to be "always up to date." This means it will automatically update itself for you. For most users, this is a strong plus, since it will avoid the confusion of "should I click this?" or "Will I have to pay if I click this?" This feature will also mean that you will always be benefiting from the most up-to-date features and security that Microsoft offers. Again, for most of us, that's good news!
