Should I upgrade to Windows 11?

Comments Off on Should I upgrade to Windows 11? ,

Since the release of Microsoft’s Windows 11 operating system, there has been much mystery surrounding whether users will be able to upgrade their current PC or need to purchase a new system. Even though Windows 11 has been out for almost a year, many users are still hesitant to make the switch. Some PCs currently running Windows 10 will not qualify to run Windows 11, depending on hardware specifications. To see if your PC can run Windows 11 download and install the PC Health Check app from this site. Keep in mind that not all PCs will meet the hardware requirements and that means you’ll have to stick with Windows 10 until the PC is retired.

The latest threat to Windows users comes in the form of a vulnerability that allows an attacker to take control of a computer remotely. According to WikiPedia here’s the definition:

BlueKeep (CVE–2019-0708) is a security vulnerability that was discovered in Microsoft‘s Remote Desktop Protocol, which allows for the possibility of remote code execution.

The remote code execution is the most concerning since it could potentially allow hackers to install software on the remote system and use tools such as self propagating worms to spread across a network.

All users of Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2 are being strongly urged to install Windows updates from Microsoft to protect against this threat.
