Anyone looking to get rid of their home phone but afraid you're going to miss important calls? Let me put that number on either a forwarding service or straight to voicemail-to-email for as little as $5/month!

Last chance for Windows 7! The new Intel processors are out and they do not support Windows 7. New units with the previous generation processor are still available but likely for a limited time. Get your quote today!

WINDOWS 10! If you're thinking about Windows 10 on your well-running business PC, please reconsider. Actually more than that, be prepared. Windows 10 is automatically scheduling updates if you "ignore" their small balloon pop up. To prevent the scheduling and automatic installation, use this handy little tool. https://www.grc.com/never10.htm If you've recently had an update that you'd like to go back on, you've got 30 days to do so. In the recovery area of your settings, you should see an option to go back to your previous operating system. If you've got a home PC and want to try 10, go for it! I've got nothing against Windows 10. Although unlikely, it's the corrupt installs or broken programs afterwards that should be a red flag for business PC's to make an unscheduled jump.

Ladies and Gentlemen, under NO circumstance should you EVER call a phone number that pops up on your computer on its own. If you receive these pop ups, turn off your computer immediately and call someone you trust to work on your computer. It happens more than you think and to people you'd never believe could be "had". (Side note, NICwit Technologies is a Certified Bitdefender Sales and Technical Specialist for all of your antivirus needs.)

With Windows 10 coming out this year, what does this mean for Windows 7 and your business? Not much for computers you already have, but are you planning on purchasing new computers soon? Support for Windows 7 ends in 2020. Although that may seem in the distant future, purchasing a new computer now with Windows 7 gets you a full 5 year life cycle on that machine. Windows 7 is still very available on many business-class computers but when Windows 10 comes out, Windows 7 availability is unclear. Need a quote on new computers for you business? Contact me today!
