Microsoft's Windows 11 update is now available and it features numerous changes that could make a significant impactful difference for you and your team.


Microsoft recently updated Copilot, their AI assistant, with a new position on the taskbar. No longer will users need to hunt around for its button; now it can be found conveniently located on the right side of their taskbar in what we refer to as "system tray".


No need to feel restricted if Copilot isn't the right AI assistant for you; simply uninstalling from your taskbar is straightforward. We suggest giving AI assistants some time before making up your mind on whether or not to delete one altogether.

Microsoft will soon unveil their next Windows 11 update, also known as "Moment 5" or the "February 24 Moment". This release should arrive sometime soon and contains several notable changes worth keeping an eye out for.

Microsoft plans on charging you for updates.


temp-post-image


Microsoft announced they will stop offering free security and support updates for Windows 10 starting October 14th 2025.


Let's consider the big picture here: Microsoft is expected to release Windows 12 by 2025; by then, Windows 10 will have been out for 10 years and Windows 11 should already be available.


Even an industry giant like Microsoft can find it challenging to support multiple older operating systems.


Though it may seem far away, you should begin considering your options today. Here are a few:


Microsoft recommends upgrading to Windows 11 as it offers some fantastic features and will continue receiving free updates until its end-of-life.


Option 2: Remain with Windows 10, at an expense.

Happy New Year!



Remember Microsoft Paint? The simple drawing app that allowed us to make beautiful pixelated works of art? I know, chances are it has fallen off your radar recently but let me suggest there may be good reason for revisiting this application in 2018.


Microsoft Paint gets a significant upgrade with Windows 11 thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI).


Paint now supports Dall-E 3, or Cocreator as it is known in the app.


Does Cocreator Sound Familiar? No doubt you've encountered it on Bing AI; it is truly groundbreaking. More than simply image creation, Cocreator allows users to explain exactly what they are searching for by selecting art styles based on this description, then viewing i...

temp-post-image


Windows 11 will soon be full of surprises!


Are you ready to upgrade the tools on your operating system?


Let's begin by talking about the Snipping Tool. This basic screenshotting tool has quietly provided us with snapshots for years, helping to capture screens one snip at a time. With "Text Actions", an exciting text recognition and capture capability introduced with iOS 10, this could become game changing; now allowing us to copy text directly from screenshots without needing a separate program like Clippix for this task! You can now copy/paste text directly into screenshots!


But that's only the start: with Quick Redact's handy new function, it is now possible to quickly hide sensitive data dir...

Microsoft recently made an unexpected and quiet announcement that they will no longer update WordPad, and eventually remove it from Windows altogether. No date for this transition was specified at the time.


But let's be honest...how often have you mistakenly opened a WordPad document when the original intention was Notepad?


Notepad is used to write plain text documents while WordPad serves as an editing program similar to a word processor; they're often confused.
