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.

Happy Valentines, Folks!

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, that time was about 5 weeks ago. Pickin’s are thin right now. 🙁

There were 275+ major hacks, and over 640 application updates this month. It shouldn’t be that bad though, with about 3.5 GB of updates for most users.

This month brings critical security updates for all supported Apple products, the end of all non-LTS versions of Windows 10 other than v22H2 (if you aren’t sure whether you are using LTS, you aren’t), and new security updates for every browser every single week since last month. That’s on top of the 180+ major hacks, and over 220 application updates this month.

Prepare yourself, there will be about 4.5 GB of updates for most devices this month.
