Windows 10...and Deep Freeze
by Colleen Leddy 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Please pardon if this issue has already been addressed here (and pardon duplication). Our tech guy is here today to upgrade Norton and Deep Freeze. I also wanted him to upgrade staff and patron computers to Windows 10, but he says his company does not really recommend it until all the bugs are worked out (that's my language, not his). Have you upgraded your computers to Windows 10? Have you had problems? Are there particular issues with upgrading patron computers? Do you recommend upgrading at this time? Also, if you use Deep Freeze, is there a version that works best? That's too many questions...any comments you have would be helpful. Thanks, Colleen Colleen Leddy, Director Stair District Library 228 W. Main St. Morenci, MI 49256 517/458-6510 Monday & Wednesday: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
