No need to rush ....

October 5th and Windows 11 is available - for some*! Waiting a while may not be so bad.

Should you be bothered? ....

Despite Microsoft saying Windows 10 was to be the last Windows. Windows 11 is being launched 5th October 2021. But there is a host of confusion and will it be worth it?

Don't panic ....

Pretty much all service providers have a blip once in a while that causes you to lose internet - sometimes for seconds, sometimes hours.

....or 21H1 ...

Actually it's still just Windows 10 and really just quite uneventful. Released 18 May 2021 - you probably wont even know you've got it!

Is your precious data is at risk?

Everything from your photos and documents through to emails and the operating itself are subject to loss should your hard drive fail.

Before you throw out your old computer (or even sell it - the same applies), take a moment to THINK.....

Are all your personal documents, photographs etc still on there - just deleting files and emptying the recycle bin does not remove the data completely .Do you really want them to be accessible to somebody else? Don't become a victim of data theft and ensure that all your information is completely erased.

Well meaning friends and relatives - we all have them - but beware. I have come across so many problems that have been made ten times worse by those who mean well. So at the first signs of trouble give me a call and don't let something simple become a major problem.

Mobile phones, networks, data, contracts, plans, packages,.....the list goes on...AND YES I find it boring too! But it needn't be all bad and here is giifgaff that offers a great service that is almost certainly going to save you money - no contracts, no leaving penalties and you can keep your own number at no extra cost.

ISPs - all as bad as each other? Perhaps - I deal with a lot of problems and some are certainly worth avoiding, whether it be just poor service, convoluted pricing or something else. However I have great experience with plusnet and they have never let me down....and before you say they are not the cheapest  - I just say that sometimes you get what you pay for!
