Updates 2026-03-10

Welcome back, Folks!

Today is Patch Tuesday for March, 2026.

If your Windows 10 computer can not be upgraded to Windows 11 then you should either replace your device or use the Windows 10 ESU program to get another few months out of it.

Windows 11 25H2 is now available and Windows 11 23H2 and older are no longer supported. It’s safe to upgrade to Windows 11 25H2 now, but be prepared for the Start Menu to change. You will likely want to click the “View” drop-down and switch to List.

macOS 26 Tahoe is now available and macOS 13 Ventura and older are no longer supported. macOS 26 is now stable and you should upgrade to this version if your hardware supports it.

There were 1430+ major hacks, and over 350 application updates this month.
It’s a moderate month, with about 4.0 GB of updates for most users.

Happy Easter, Folks!

Today is Patch Tuesday for April, 2025.

It’s as safe as it’s going to be to upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 or macOS 15/Sequoia.

If your Windows 10 (or older) computer can not be upgraded to Windows 11, or if you used a registry or installation bypass to install an older version of Windows 11 on it that is no longer supported, then it’s time for you to start looking for a replacement computer. Actually, the time was 3 months ago. Pickin’s are thin right now. 🙁

There were 320+ major hacks, and over 360 application updates this month. It’s a relatively small month, with about 2.5 GB of updates for most users.

If your Windows 10 (or older) computer can not be upgraded to Windows 11, or if you used a registry or installation bypass to install an older version of Windows 11 on it that is no longer supported, then it’s time for you to start looking for a replacement computer.

Windows 10 now has only 9 months of support left and I am already seeing availability issues for new computers.

There were 600+ major hacks, and over 300 application updates this month. It’s a “normal” month, with about 4 GB of updates for most users.
