Microsoft's Windows 10 is approaching end of life, however your current computer may still have options. If you already have a supported CPU, you may simply upgrade to Windows 11 to avoid loosing support. Some 2018 supported processors require a physical TPM module installed on the motherboard, or bios settings updated.

Unsupported CPUs have the following options:

★★☆ Purchase a new Windows 11 computer replacing your existing one. We can clone your existing Windows 10 Desktop to a New Desktop and upgrade it to the latest version of Windows 11 or backup your personal files and restore them on your new computer.

☆☆☆ Do Nothing and use Windows 10 unsupported. (NOT RECOMMENDED) This option will leave your computer vulnerable to new exploits and attacks. Microsoft will not fix vulnerabilities in unsupported operating systems.

★☆☆ Pay for Extended Windows 10 Support. This is the first time Microsoft has offered Extended Support for home users. Pricing starts at $30 for home users for one additional year. We will post links for Extended Support as we approach the Windows 10 End of Life date.

★★★ Installing a Windows alternative like Zorin OS is a great way to extend the life of your computer without purchasing any additional parts or upgrades. Zorin OS is a Windows 10 look-alike and runs most of the software you may already be using. Minimum recommendations for running a Linux operating systems are a quad-core CPU, 8GB of memory, and any sized SSD storage device.

Stop by and see us today to go over the best options for you moving forward.

Heads up to anyone that has yet to remove any Kaspersky products from their computer. Kaspersky is now uninstalling and replacing itself with an inferior product (UltraAV). If you find UltraAV suddenly on your computer, it is recommended to uninstall it immediately and run either Windows Defender or any other anti-virus product of your choosing. See more info in the link below.

Starting Thursday, Kaspersky deleted its anti-malware software from computers across the United States and replaced it with UltraAV's antivirus solution without warning.
