When to Upgrade the Windows on Your Computer

For PC owners, it often feels like there are essential updates and upgrades released every single day. These updates can become bothersome, but owners will want to carefully consider when it may be time to upgrade their Windows operating system. Here is a look at the newest Windows OS update and some of the features that users may benefit from.

Updating one's OS can generally be done with just a few clicks when going directly through Windows' website. Users can also purchase the newest Windows OS on disc as well if they would like their own personal copy. One of the largest changes in this OS over previous operating systems is the change to the controls. Individuals with touchscreen phones and tablets can now move through all their files with a new series of "panels" that can be manipulated. This is the key difference, and those with tablets may find these new controls to be more ergonomic.

Another benefit of upgrading one's Windows is the improved customer support. The team of developers will focus heavily on this new operating system, and this may mean better services such as improved control over malware and viruses. Before upgrading, however, all users will want to back up their files externally. This can either be done with an external hard drive, a cloud server, or blank digital audio CD R discs. This will ensure that no important files are lost or corrupted during the transfer and users will have an option to revert back to their original OS.
