Free Tower PC to give away

Thanks to our customer John & Jennifer Henderson who donated two PCs to the workshop, and it can be a great first computer for kids.

It comes with Intel Pentium(R) 4 3.00GHz CPU and was 512MB RAM. We upgraded the RAM to 1.5GB. The hard drive is 120GB IDE and had been securely wiped up. The PS/2 keyboard and mouse will be with the Tower PC, however, as we don't have spare monitor at the moment, you will have to buy one yourself. Officeworks had special $65.00 for 17" monitor before, not sure if still available, but they always have 21" for $98.00

Windows 10 free upgrade?

 

Windows 10 free upgrade deadline has expired, but can we still activate Windows 10 using a Windows 7 or Windows 8 Product Key for free?

Microsft said that Windows 10 free upgrade stopped at 29/07/2016, so it did. Now you can't see the upgrade icon on your taskbar anymore, but do you have to pay $149 to upgrade to Windows 10? Not necessarily so far as long as you have the correct edition of Windows 10 TH2(1511) Installer ISO. Just run a clean Windows 10 install and use your Windows 7/8 Product key, you can still activate your new Windows 10. (Tested on 31/08/2016)

Don’t like Windows 10?

 

windows 10 downgrade


Although Microsoft has stopped Windows 10 free upgrade at the end of last month, there are more people coming and want their Windows 7 back. Those people either get used to Windows 7 or just simply don't like Windows 10. After all it looks a little bit similar to Windows 8. But the techs/geeks know, Windows 10 is way better than Windows 8.
