Backing up your Computer

At our March 8 meeting, Neil Higgins made a presentation on free programs to backup your computer.  With the July date on updating to Windows 10 coming soon, we all want to make sure we have a good backup routine in place.

Good Information on Windows 10

The Start menu reappeared in Windows 10, but that isn't enough to satisfy all of its critics of the new version of Microsoft's operating system.

PROVIDED BY MICROSOFT

By Anick Jesdanun, AP Technology Writer

Published: Sunday, February 7, 2016 at 2:00 a.m.

Last Modified: Thursday, February 4, 2016 at 9:03 p.m.

If you're running an older version of Windows, you might suddenly find Microsoft's Windows 10 upgrade already downloaded on your machine.

You never requested it, so why are you getting it?

The automatic download is part of Microsoft's aggressive push to get Windows 10 on as many devices as possible. Since last July, Microsoft has distributed the free upgrade on request. But starting this week, it's also pushing it out to those who haven't requested it — and who might not want it.

Microsoft isn't actually installing Windows 10 automatically, but installation is just a click or two away. If you're not careful, you might suddenly find the new system on your old machine.

Is this good for you?

THE BENEFITS OF WINDOWS 10

Windows 10 has many improvements over its predecessors — especially Windows 8. It's much easier to use than Windows 8, and it offers more modern controls — akin to mobile devices — than Windows 7. (There is no Windows 9.) Windows 10 also paves the way for multiple devices to work together. You might be able to buy an app once to run on your PC, phone and Xbox game machine, for instance. The app's layout would automatically reconfigure to the given screen size.

New apps are being designed for Windows 10, so if you have an older system, you might find yourself shut out.

BENEFITS FOR MICROSOFT

Microsoft is reducing reliance on software sales in favor of services such as the Bing search engine, OneDrive storage and Skype for communications. Windows 10 was designed to steer users to those services. Microsoft makes money from ads and premium features that cost money — such as additional OneDrive storage.

Microsoft can also encourage app makers to write more software for Windows 10 if a lot of people are using it. It's similar to how Apple pushes its users to upgrade to the latest iPhone and Mac systems. App developers know they can enable the latest features without worrying about abandoning too many users of older devices.

WHY HOLD OUT?

System upgrades aren't always smooth, especially on older machines with slower processors, less memory and less storage space available. Microsoft's Get Windows 10 app will verify that you meet minimum system requirements — but minimum doesn't mean speedy.

Older machines also might have software that won't work on Windows 10, so you'd have to spend money upgrading those programs, if upgrades are available at all. Printers, scanners and other accessories also might need new controlling software, called drivers. If a driver update isn't available, you might find yourself with a dead accessory.

And once you upgrade to Windows 10, you might be ceding control over future upgrades to Microsoft. The company is offering incremental updates to Windows 10 on a regular basis, and it won't always give you a choice on whether to accept.

HOW TO KEEP THE OLDER WINDOWS

Microsoft is treating Windows 10 as a type of security update it regularly pushes to users. Microsoft is now reclassifying Windows 10 as "recommended" rather than "optional." In doing so, those who have set their machine to automatically get important updates will get Windows 10, too. You can avoid this by turning off automatic updates in the settings under Windows Update. That's not recommended, though, because you might miss important security fixes.

If you work for a large company, your system administrators are likely monitoring these updates, so Windows 10 won't automatically download without their OK. Plus, Microsoft isn't offering Windows 10 for free to larger companies.

Microsoft will support Windows 7 until 2020 and Windows 8 until 2023, after which time it will stop fixing any security problems. By then, it might be time for a new computer anyway.

IF YOU'RE READY

To install Windows 10, all you need to do is accept it when prompted. Getting Windows 10 shouldn't affect your photos and other documents, though there's always a risk of a meltdown with any major upgrade. Back up your files first. You can use an online storage service such as OneDrive or DropBox to keep a backup online.

WHAT IF YOU DON'T LIKE WINDOWS 10?

Microsoft keeps a backup of your system for a month. In the settings, go to "Update & security" and then "Recovery." You'll find the option to return to Windows 7 or 8. Your files should be OK, but you'll lose any apps installed after upgrading to Windows 10. Remember, you have only 31 days to change your mind.

How to Prolong Lithium-based Batteries

BU-808: How to Prolong Lithium-based Batteries

The lithium-ion battery works on ion movement between the positive and negative electrodes. In theory such a mechanism should work forever, but cycling, elevated temperature and aging decrease the performance over time. Since batteries are used in demanding environmental conditions, manufacturers take a conservative approach and specify the life of most Li-ion between 300 and 500 discharge/charge cycles.

The Battery University website gives us details on how to deal with the Lithium  batteries so common in most of our laptops and portable devices.

For detailed information on understanding how these batteries work and how to make them last, check out the rest of the articles ....

UG Session – Is What Happened to HAL-PC In Your Group’s Future?

Judy Taylour, President, SCV Computer Club

Hewie Poplock, APCUG Rep & Program Chair, Central Florida Computer Society

HAL-PC was once one of the world’s largest PC user groups and a founding member of APCUG. They will be gone in a few weeks – closing their office, selling their equipment, etc. HAL-PC failed to keep up with the times. Its members grew older and their interests didn’t expand.

Linux is like Cars

John Kennedy, Member and Co-host, Linux Help Desk/SIG, Licking County Computer Society

One of the many “concerns” about Linux is that there are so many different versions/distributions (or distros as Linux users call them) that a new user doesn't know which one to use. And they wonder why there are so many, since they are used to only having one version with Windows and Macs. I reply, “Why are there so many different makes/models of cars?” The answer is that everybody doesn't like the same thing in a car, and that's the answer in Linux as well. In this basic presentation, I will show/explain what the main differences are in the many Linux distros, and (just like in cars) how you might decide which version is the one you might want. With Linux being a free operating system, you can try out as many versions as you want until you find the one that just fits you. Join me for an enjoyable trip around the “Linux showroom” and see for yourself what it's all about.

Editing Photos on Your iPad

Sheila Bigel, eBlast Committee Chair, Central Florida Computer Society

The iPad has a large number of apps that will allow you to improve your photos. There are apps that provide basic photo editing features such as adjusting brightness, contrast, etc.  Many apps provide a multitude of filters for special effects.  Other apps allow you to add borders, text, clip art and create collages.  This presentation will show a few apps that are fun, easy to use, and are free or nominally priced that will allow you to enhance the photos on your iPad.
