Windows Updates due Thursday November 14th

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

November 12th is Windows Update Tuesday!   Thursday the 14th is the day to install Windows updates.

Windows 7 users.  January of 2020 will be your last updates from Microsoft.  Contrary to the SCAM pop-ups and SCAM phone calls, your PC will NOT quit and you will NOT lose your files.

You will be getting pop-ups from Microsoft telling you about this, they include them in your updates!

We can do a Windows 10 upgrade here for you.  It costs $50.00 and includes a "tune-up".  You DO NOT need to buy Windows 10!  You will have to leave the PC with us.  


Windows 10 Users.  Microsoft is beginning to roll out the 1909 update in November.

These twice a year updates take hours on slow computers and take a LOT of hard drive space.  Microsoft makes a complete copy of your current Windows 10, then downloads a LARGE file (the new Windows 10), then installs the new 10 and moves in your "files".  Again this can take hours and a LOT of hard drive space!  Many old computers have performance problems during this update.  You must be aware that this is happening and leave the computer running until it is finished.  DO NOT interrupt this process.  Computers with very full or small hard drives will fail this update. 

Windows 10 Users:  Check your Updates closely.  Again there are updates causing problems,.


Everyone else. (Windows 7 & 8.1)  Only install all Important updates.

 
No Optional.
