Do you have a plan yet to migrate from Windows 7 to Windows 10?

Today I transferred another client from Windows 7 to a new Windows 10 computer. Your old computer might be able to run Windows 10 but I highly recommend upgraded hardware for more effective results.

Who do you know who needs to upgrade their computer before January? You?
Message me. 😃
