In the second part of this series we will further explore some of the points I discussed in part one<\/a><\/strong>. Although it was launched a decade ago, many businesses are still operating on Windows 7. However, the time has come to take the plunge and update software systems to Windows 10. Here are the first five key reasons to update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the biggest incentive to make the upgrade is the\nfact that Microsoft will be ending support for Windows 7 on 14 January 2020. If\nyou do not update, your Windows 7 PC will still boot up and continue to function,\nhowever, there will not be any support available. Additionally, your PC will be\nmore vulnerable to security risks and viruses as there will be no further security\nupdates. Moreover, if a large number of users continue to use Windows 7, there is\na possibility that malicious users will be encouraged to target Windows 7. With\nno tech support and no further software updates, Windows 7 will quickly become\noutdated and obsolete, so the upgrade to Windows 10 is essential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Windows 10 has some impressive new features with the aim of\nprotecting your identity and your data. Windows Defender has various tools to\nhelp protect your data. Defender Security Centre Tool gives you an overview of\nthe security health of your PC. It allows you to approve which apps can access\nand change files on your PC or the cloud. Defender Exploit Guard scans for,\nquarantines and removes malware, whilst Defender Antivirus, evidently, is built-in\nantivirus protection. Businesses also have the option to subscribe to Windows\nDefender Advanced Threat Protection, which is a sophisticated, cloud-based\nservice for managing security threats across your business PCs. Additionally,\nWindows Hello uses biometrics to log in, so you don\u2019t have to worry about\npasswords being compromised. Finally, Device Guard ensures that your device\nonly runs applications that it has deemed trustworthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Despite using the same hardware as Windows 7, tests have shown\nthat Windows 10 is faster across the board. This means that it has faster boot\nup and sleep times, as well as faster transition between apps. As I\u2019ve\nmentioned countless times, Windows 7 will no longer be receiving updates or support.\nThis means that, in terms of performance, it is frozen. Windows 10, on the\nother hand, is continually updating and it will only progress, meaning that the\nperformance will only improve with time. Windows 10\u2019s power management is also\nmore efficient than Windows 7, resulting in longer battery life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Efficient Updates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft have introduced Unified Update Platform (UUP)\nwhich streamlines the update process. It identifies changes in Windows 10 and downloads\nonly those which your PC requires. Microsoft say that this can reduce the size of\ndownloads by up to 35%. It also makes the way devices check for updates more efficient\nby reducing the update data sent to users. Checking for updates and the updates\nthemselves happen behind the scenes so you can continue using your PC as normal\nwithout interruption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edge Browser<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Edge browser is becoming steady competition with Chrome and\nFirefox. It is just as fast, if not faster than its competitors. Its clean\ninterface is easy to navigate and useful tools allow you to preview, group and\nsave tabs. You can find, manage and open tabs without leaving the page you\u2019re\non. The Notes tool also allows you to highlight phrases on websites and save it\nso you can come back to it later. Your Edge browser is synced over all your Windows\n10 devices so your settings, search history and bookmarks are available to you wherever\nyou are. Using Edge over other browsers will allegedly extend your battery\nlife.  Windows 10\u2019s security features\nwork seamlessly with Edge, so you are protected against phishing schemes and\nmalware. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a side note, I\u2019m assuming that an upgrade to Windows 10\nwill be from Windows 7. If you\u2019re still running XP, please, for my sake if not your\nown, consider your situation and upgrade immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
