ASK OMA Comp Question of the Month
Should I update to Microsoft’s Windows 10?
Unfortunately there is not one definite answer as each client has a unique scenario.
If you are in a business environment with custom written applications or older programs, my suggestions is to probably skip this upgrade and stick with your current operating system. If you have a newer computer and new software, you may consider upgrading to Windows 10 to benefit from its extra features.
In its latest operating system Microsoft added Cortana, a personal digital assistant that works much like Apples Siri, although more advanced since it understands more commands and spans over the entire windows platform (Windows Phone, Windows Tablets, Windows Laptops, and Windows Desktops). Microsoft is also bringing back the start menu which is now a hybrid of Windows 8 Live tile screen and Windows 7 start menu.
Anyone planning to upgrade to Windows 10 needs to know that this is a major upgrade and even though Microsoft has tested the procedure, on some occasions, things do go wrong and can even be catastrophic. Before attempting to perform this update, you must make certain that you have a good backup of your data. For those who are not sure how to do this but wish to test the new features, you can call OMA Comp and one of our professional technicians will be happy to handle this upgrade for you.
