Here is this month’s newsletter.

See… who said talk is cheap!
News for everyone!
We work hard to make our newsletters informative, timely and easy to read (for those who hate tech-speak) and we love sharing what we know with you.

When you suggest someone to add to our newsletter mailing list, we will enter your name in a drawing to win a gift card for one of State College’s favorite eateries.

Operating systems are periodically retired because as technology moves on, several things can happen.

For those of you who would like to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 without purchasing the software or paying someone else to do it for you, you can download and run the Windows 10 Media Creation tool.
The free Windows 10 Media Creation Tool is a very popular utility developed by Microsoft. With this tool you can upgrade Windows 10 to its latest version without a hassle and create a Windows 10 installation USB drive/DVD disc to perform a clean install or to repair a problematic PC.
