Weight loss guru names 'silent saboteur' destroying fat loss goals - 'The issue isn't food'
With Microsoft poised to pull the plug on Windows 10 in a matter of days, millions of laptop and desktop PC owners find themselves at a crossroads. Sticking with Windows 10 after October 14 will put you at an increased risk of malware, Microsoft has warned. While the US company has offered one year of additional security updates at no cost... that only applies to those in mainland Europe. Britons who want the same treatment will be forced to back up their data via OneDrive, something that could result in a pricey Direct Debit to Microsoft.
You could follow Microsoft's advice and prioritise the purchase of a new device with Windows 11 preinstalled, or take advantage of its free operating system upgrade ...provided your PC meets the strict minimum requirements, something that an estimated 400 million devices fail to do.
Or you could switch to a rival operating system. Google is courting disillusioned Windows 10 users, while Apple recently added a new feature to make setting up a new MacBook even simpler for iPhone owners.
Instead of opting for any of these options, some PC owners have decided to switch to Windows 7.
According to StatCounterStatCounter, Windows 7 has been rapidly gaining market share in recent weeks -- a full five years after support for the desktop operating system was officially terminated. At the latest count, Windows 7 is now used by some 9.61% of all Windows PCs worldwide. That's an increase from the 3.59% just one month ago.
