Windows 10 Overview & Thoughts

On Wednesday July 29th Microsoft has finally released Windows 10 taking it out of the Beta form and giving it a full release to the public. If you were a Windows 7 or Windows 8 user, you were given the chance to get a free upgrade by reserving it or pay the $120+ for a copy of the program.

Desktop Computer Repair Tips For Every SMB

Did you know that the average small business employee loses approximately one work week per year because they work on an out-of-date PC?  Recent research conducted by Intel found this to be the case.

  • Repairing an “old” PC (older than 4 years), costs 1.3 times more than repairing a PC that’s younger than 4 years
  • Employees who use PCs older than 4 years lose 21 more hours per year due to maintenance and security issues
  • 8% of small businesses in the US (the largest percentage of all countries surveyed) use PCs older than 5 years – compared to just 5% worldwide and 1% in India

Advance System Care Review

While browsing the internet I found a new type of virus scanning software that acted like a combo fix kind of deal. This scanner was called “Advance System Care” and advance is about right. This is a multi-purpose type of application that not only takes care of just viruses but can also defragment your computer or even check for other variants of harmful applications. It ranked in the top ten on CNET’s top download list and is recommended by other users as well. So seeing this application edged me into downloading it. So after taking the time to install it I began to use it to see what all of the fuss is about, and I won’t lie I was impressed by this software as well.
