“I get a call early in the morning from a guy named Charlie (aka. Raj) claiming to be from Microsoft telling me my computer has virus called Code Red. I decide that Charlie needs to have an hour of his day wasted because you guys need entertainment and these scammers need to be taken down.”
TORONTO — Microsoft’s new Windows 10 operating system has been praised for improving upon the flaws of its predecessor, but the company is facing widespread criticism for what some are calling invasive data collection.
Under its default privacy settings, Windows 10 tracks the way users type, what applications they use, their browsing history and other personal information.
Windows 10 also sends a weekly “activity update” on childrens’ web browsing and computer history to their parents. Some parents have publicly described receiving those emails from Microsoft as “creepy,” while others warn it could serve to humiliate teens at a vulnerable period in their lives.
Windows 10 is now available as a free upgrade to many computers.
My advice is not to rush to download this as Microsoft’s track record says it will probably be quite buggy for the first few months.
If you do feel the urge to upgrade then make sure you have all important data backed up on an external source.
Also ensure you have made the recovery media for your computer (you should always do this anyway)

This is where windows stores all its backups of previous updates. It can grow quite large but don’t be tempted to go in and start deleting files, you may well trash your system.

Microsoft has ended support of Windows XP
Microsoft has provided support for Windows XP for the past 12 years. But now the time has come for us, along with our hardware and software partners, to invest our resources toward supporting more recent technologies so that we can continue to deliver great new experiences.
As a result, after April 8, 2014, technical assistance for Windows XP will no longer be available, including automatic updates that help protect your PC. Microsoft will also stop providing Microsoft Security Essentials for download on Windows XP on this date. (If you already have Microsoft Security Essentials installed, you will continue to receive antimalware signature updates for a limited time, but this does not mean that your PC will be secure because Microsoft will no longer be providing security updates to help protect your PC.)
