Donline Computer Consultancy Ltd

01/02/2025

It's quite incredible to think that I started Donline Computer Consultancy 19 years ago - on 1st February 2006!

It's such a great Blessing to have so many wonderful clients - all 810 of them! Apart from the work (very much appreciated), we have forged some great relationships & friendships along the way. So a huge thank you to all those who have travelled this journey with me. Good Lord willing: here's to many more years!

Windows 11 - stuff you need to know.

The hardware requirements for Windows 11 are ridiculously high - especially at a time when IT components are in serious constraint, and we are meant to being reducing waste in our work & home lives...

I ran Microsoft's PC Health Check app on the Donline Workstation (a Fujitsu Celsius W530 Workstation, Intel i7-4770 3.3Ghz, 24Gb RAM, 1Tb SSD, etc) - amazingly it failed to meet the minimum hardware requirements. It is still a very serious beast & significantly more powerful than the vast majority of the computers that I support. Hold that thought...

This invariably means that a significant proportion of the PCs & laptops in use in homes & businesses at the moment cannot be upgraded to Windows 11. So what I hear you ask? So this: Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 on 14th October 2025. In 4 years time there will be no more Win10 updates or patches!
