Windows 7 is Dead, Long Live Windows 10! On January 14th Windows 7 officially reached End of Life (EOL). So what does this mean to you? DON'T PANIC! You have some good options :)... Here are the Main Risks * Over time your computer will become less secure, as bugs and security issues will no longer be fixed. This means that your computer will be more vulnerable to viruses and other malware. * Companies will stop updating their own software for Windows 7. This means that you will not get the latest updates for the software you use. So what should you do? * Update to Windows 10, either by replacing your computer, or by updating Windows on your existing hardware. If you purchased the computer in the last 6 years, you should be good. * In the meantime, keep your antivirus up to date, and be careful with what you do on the internet, and what you click in your email. The risk with keeping Windows 7 will increase as time progresses, but you can limit your risks :) If you want help or advice please get in touch.

Hello everyone! Due to some changes in my schedule I will no longer be able to make house calls, and take on any more residential IT work. I've been really fortunate, and the time I have available for work has been completely filled up. ... Thank you to all of my existing customers, I've enjoyed helping out where I can. I have made allowances for my business customers so as not to leave you high and dry. If you have any questions, then please ask away. Regards Richard

Hello! I'm going away on vacation soon, and won't be back until August 22nd. I'll get back to any messages then Thanks... Richard See more

Off on vacation for a short while. Back on September 27th!

Some MAC love for the second half of the year :)

It's mother's day, and I haven't had to help my mum with her computer for quite a while now. Even though I'm thousands of miles away, and my brother can drive there, I'm still the front line for them :). And I don't mind. Being a parent, and a sliver of maturity, has shown me some patience. Having this business has introduced me to a whole range of people, with a variety of IT confidence, and I haven't met anyone yet that didn't want to learn. I really like my job, thanks to all of you for making it work!
