Office 2010 is nearing its end of support date. This will be October the 13th 2020.
What does this mean? On this date, Office 2010 will no longer recieve security updates, bug fixes and you will no longer receive technical support, including paid support.
What should I do? Start planning to upgrade to Office 365 or even Microsoft 365. Office 365 is an integrated experience of apps and services. It includes Office applications, Exchange Online email, OneDrive for Business, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, Yammer and Stream.
Microsoft 365 comprises of Windows 10, Office 365 and Enterprise Mobility & Security. This is the ideal platform if you are going from Windows 7 and also want to move your documents to the cloud, are concerned about security, and how you can comply with GDPR.
If you need to have a conversation about upgrading, then please contact us.
Its nearly here! Windows 7 goes into extended support on the 14th January 2020. That means that you will not be provided with any more software patches for the Operating System, unless you pay for them. The best way to go is to upgrade to Windows 10 - soon. You can still run Windows 7 but you will be vulnerable, as any security issues that come up will not get any patches for them, and as we have seen from the WannaCry cyber attack this could spell disaster. If you haven't upgraded, talk to us about getting this done as we have a vast amount of expertise doing this.
We are pleased to announce that MoorsideTech has become part of the Microsoft Cloud Solutions Provider Program.
Shifting times – We know that businesses are desperately looking for advice on moving to the cloud, so we have decided to do something about it. We are partnering with Microsoft to give you the latest heads up on cloud solutions, that being Office 365, soon to be Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Managed Desktop.
We can help with site surveys, licensing, deployment, be it hybrid or greenfield, and give you direct support from Microsoft. Grant Scott – Director of MoorsideTech says “Being part of the CSP program puts us in a fantastic position to support our customers needs moving to the cloud”.
Microsoft has just released a free version of its Microsoft Teams software.
The free version will support up to 300 users with unlimited chat messages, built in audio and video calling, 10GB of team file storage, plus 2GB personal storage for each user.
Office Online apps are included with Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote available.
There is also the ability to integrate with over 140 business apps including Adobe, Evernote and Trello and the ability to communicate and collaborate with anyone inside or outside your organisation, backed by Microsoft’s secure global infrastructure.
The Windows Diagnostic Data Viewer lets you analyse what telemetry and diagnostic data is collected from your Windows 10 device and sent to Microsoft.
To enable the Windows Diagnostic Data Viewer, in Windows 10, go to the Settings app, select Privacy and then select Diagnostics and feedback. Now click the toggle switch to “On” to enable the Diagnostics and data viewer.
Underneath a box with Diagnostic Data Viewer will be enabled. Click on it and it will take you to the Microsoft Store, where you will be able to download and install the full app.
Once it is installed you can run it from the list of installed programs in Windows 10 or go to settings, privacy, diagnostics and feedback and run it from there.
Once you run the program, you can access its menu from the top left.
Theres also the opportunity to access the Privacy Dashboard from the icons down the left-hand side. You will need a Microsoft account to login to see what Microsoft has stored. You can download the data and change the advertising settings for your Microsoft account as well.
It looks like there could be the possibility of the Microsoft Windows 10 Operating System being sold “as a service”. It initially, allegedly would only affect business users.
A leaked report says that Microsoft might start charging a monthly fee for maintaining and updating the Operating System so, you may hear Microsoft talking about a "Managed Desktop" soon.
No matter how big or small the job, we're here to help.
