• Support for older versions of Internet Explorer ends on January 12, 2016

users and their data safer. Regular security updates help protect computers from malicious attacks,

so upgrading and staying current is important.

• Windows 10 silently uses your bandwidth to send updates to others

If you’ve upgraded to Windows 10 then Microsoft could be using your PC – and your internet

connection – to silently send Windows updates to others.

The feature used to do this is called Windows Update Delivery Optimization.

How do I turn delivery optimization off? Follow the 4 steps show as below:

1. Go to Start , then Setting –> Update & security

2. Windows Update –> Advanced options

3. In advanced Options page –> Choose how updates and delivered

4. Use the toggle to turn Delivery Optimization off. When turned off, you’ll still get updates and apps from Windows Update and from the Windows Store.

• You might not get the Windows 10 upgrade on launch day

July 29 was supposed to be launch day of “Windows10”, however Microsoft plans to rollout this

new operation system have changed. Only “Windows insiders” will possibly get it on day one.

Normal customers who have reserved an upgrade will probably have to wait as Microsoft deploys

the software gradually until everyone has it.

People, like school and big businesses who pay Microsoft in bulk will likely get their version on

August 1.

•   Windows 10 is almost here !!

register for your free Windows 10 upgrade. If you register, Windows will automatically download

Windows 10 on July 29th and then allow you to install it immediately or at a later time of your

choosing.
