The debate of whether to stick with Windows 10 or upgrade to Windows 11 has been circulating for some time. Is it worth installing the upgrade…should you proceed with it? Of course, it took a little while to convince me, but now it is in good shape. I have been testing Windows 11 since its…

It was previously available the first part of 2015 for Windows 8.1 Phones. If you read last week’s article on linked and/ local accounts this continues that…
