Hi  
 
I won't be the first to wish you a Happy New Year but hope you've settled in to 2020. Thank you for reading these once-a-month Tips and Alerts emails which I trust you find useful. It's sometimes challenging to find subjects that will be of interest to everyone but if you have any ideas or comments please do send them to me.
 
By the time you read this the end of Windows 7 support from Microsoft will be a reality.
 
To find out what this means for you you can
 
Microsoft statement:  "After January 14, 2020, if your PC is running Windows 7, it will no longer receive security updates. Therefore, it's important that you upgrade to a modern operating system such as Windows 10, which can provide the latest security updates to help keep you and your data safer. In addition, Microsoft customer service will no longer be available to provide Windows 7 technical support."
 
Fear not if you are a support customer of Swan Digital and still using Windows 7. Your PC will continue to work and we will continue to provide support to the best of our ability for the time being but naturally will not be able to help with any issues that cannot be resolved because Microsoft have pulled the plug.
 
The vast majority of (but not all) programs that run on Windows 7 will run on Windows 10. However "Modern Apps" that are designed for Windows 8 and 10 won't run on Windows 7.
 
If you'd like to find out about our PC upgrade service please get in touch on 01903 712727 or send us an email.
