Windows 10 Upgrade?

We are all excited by the announcement of a FREE upgrade to Windows 10. Stop for a moment and think about what that really means for your computer. Pay attention to the version number. We went from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Then we went to Windows 8.1 to fix some problems. Now we will skip 9 altogether and jump to 10?

You want the new, improved Windows! First, read the system requirements. Is your computer compatible with the new Windows? Now, and most important, where is your computer and what programs do you use?
  • Is this a computer at your place of business? 
  • Is it connected to a local area network? 
  • Do you use any software specific to your business?
If you answered 'Yes' to any of these then you need to check with your IT department/person to get approval to upgrade.




Not all software is compatible with Windows 10 yet! Not all networks are ready for Windows 10 yet! 


We have seen unauthorized upgrades bring work to a halt. Proprietary software crashes and the network suffers. Please think before you do something that will have consequences beyond your own use.


If you have questions about this, give us a call at 602-432-1079 or email us at mikes@m5systems.net.
