![]() And that’s only one of several documents you’ll have to read through.Īctually, here’s one excerpt from Microsoft’s privacy statement that everyone can understand: We’re pretty sure it says you can’t steal Windows or use Windows to send spam, and also that Microsoft retains the right to take possession of your first-born child if it so chooses. Well, here is Microsoft’s 12,000-word service agreement. It’s all there all along but we just didn’t have the time to go over the terms and just clicked on to proceed to get it over with. Remember clicking “I agree” to the company’s privacy statement. Windows 10 is everything Windows 8 should have been, addressing nearly all of the major problems users had with Microsoft’s previous-generation platform in one fell swoop.īut there’s something you should know: As you read this article from your newly upgraded PC, Windows 10 is also spying on nearly everything you do.Īnd the funny thing is that we’ve been warned all along yet most of us remain clueless about it. Windows 10 is faster, smoother and more user-friendly than any Windows operating system that has come before it. Windows 10 is amazing. Windows 10 is fantastic. So, I guess there goes our privacy down the drain. And now, issues of spying using the Windows 10 OS have been circulating. The more the advanced the technology, the more difficult it is for the human mind to comprehend all processes involved in its operation. However, like any good thing, it has its drawbacks too. It enables us to do things we never thought were possible in the past. Microsoft’s boss Satya Nadella keeps repeating his “cloud first, mobile first” mantra, and Windows will continue to become increasingly mobile and cloud-aware. ![]() I know this upsets people who think their PCs should work just like they did in a previous century, but the whole technology world is changing and Windows is changing along with it.

If you have an old desktop PC with no touchscreen, no camera and no microphone, there are fewer benefits. Whether it’s worth upgrading now depends on what sort of PC you have, but the more mobile, the better. There will (probably) never be a Windows 11, because Microsoft is now producing two small updates each year instead of one big update every three years. It has therefore encouraged early adoption by offering a free upgrade to Windows 10 – again, like Apple and Google, except that Microsoft’s upgrade offer is only available for a year.Įither way, once you have installed Windows 10, it will be updated free for the life of your device. Of course, Microsoft – like Apple and Google – would like everyone to use the latest version of its operating system. ![]() Ah, the perks of modern and upgraded technology. And most of all is that is has better security features with the Secure Boot from Windows 8, among others. ![]() It is user-friendly and starts up is faster too. While upgrading to a new operating system brings with it the discomfort of dealing with flaws that Microsoft hasn’t been able to polish just yet, being able to upgrade to it for free is something you’d likely be thankful for much later.Įven if you came from a Windows 7 PC, the transition won’t be that difficult and navigating its new interface will be a walk in the park for many. If you’re a fan of the Windows 7 and has stuck with it through the years and didn’t really like Windows 8, then the Windows 10 is good news for you because it’s highly similar to Windows 7 but better. Most Windows users have probably already made the upgrade to a Windows 10 OS right now since Microsoft has been relentless in promoting for its upgrade for quite some time.
