Hi, this is Bill Sikkens, host of

User Friendly 2.0.

00:00:02,708 --> 00:00:05,708

Saturday's here on The Answer

with this week's Tech Wednesday.

3

00:00:06,291 --> 00:00:09,416

Well the date that Windows 10 stops

receiving updates

4

00:00:09,416 --> 00:00:10,458

is right around the corner.

5

00:00:10,458 --> 00:00:14,625

This is coming up in October

and it's still a little bit of time

6

00:00:14,625 --> 00:00:17,625

if you need to stay on Windows 10,

but you do need to hurry.

7

00:00:17,875 --> 00:00:21,291

It is possible to buy

an additional year of extended updates

8

00:00:21,291 --> 00:00:24,916

so that you get the security updates, but

that's going to cost you a little money.

9

00:00:25,250 --> 00:00:26,583

Microsoft reward points.

10

00:00:26,583 --> 00:00:28,291

There's a few other ways to do it,

11

00:00:28,291 --> 00:00:30,416

but you do want to get signed up

and ready to go.

12

00:00:30,416 --> 00:00:33,291

And the other thing is,

if you need to stay on Windows 10,

13

00:00:33,291 --> 00:00:36,833

make sure you go to Microsoft's website

before the end of support date

14

00:00:36,833 --> 00:00:38,416

and download the installer.

15

00:00:38,416 --> 00:00:41,500

This allows you to make a flash drive

to be able to reinstall Windows

16

00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:44,500

10 should you need to,

and after this is no longer available.

17

00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:46,125

It might be other places on the internet.

18

00:00:46,125 --> 00:00:50,083

You have no way of knowing

if these sites are legitimate or not,

19

00:00:50,083 --> 00:00:52,166

and if you're actually getting

what you think you're getting

20

00:00:52,166 --> 00:00:53,875

and not something loaded with viruses.

21

00:00:53,875 --> 00:00:56,875

So definitely something to check out

and join us here for User Friendly

22

00:00:56,875 --> 00:01:00,125
