Server & PC Operating Software
The upgrade and installation of an operating system can be tricky, time consuming and can sometimes require many ‘Attempts’ before you get it right.
In addition, you will often need to make sure you have saved all your data – and often this simply does not go to plan because there are hidden folders and files such as your 'Nickname File' for older versions of Outlook or Roaming Cache for newer versions, documents, pictures and much more.
Ok – Hand’s up everyone who can remember every PC operating system since Windows 1?
(What - There was a Windows 1)
Windows 1 – Year - 1985
Windows 2
Windows 3 (and 3.1) – Year 1992
Windows NT
Windows 95
Windows 98
Windows 2000
Windows Me – Year 2000
Windows XP – Year 2001 (Yes XP really is 21 years old!)
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Windows 8 (Including Windows 8.1)
Windows 10 (This will be the last operating system version number - apparently!)
Windows 11 (Well - Apparently Not the last one - Microsoft!)
Did you know that Microsoft didn't release a Windows 9 because they thought it would be confused with Windows 95!
Microsoft had their winners (Windows XP and Windows 7) and losers (Windows Me and some might say Vista and 8) but generally they have been the dominant desktop operating system for decades and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down.
Installation of a SERVER operating system is often a one-time job and getting it right first time every time is the only time to get it right. In addition, Server operating systems are far more technically demanding as you probably have a suite of PC’s, laptops, smart phones and other devices that are waiting to be reliant on this box.
