Note To Nigerians: Before You Upgrade To Windows 10 by onegig(m): 7:08am On Sep 02, 2015 |
In recent weeks I have seen hundreds of threads on updating ones Windows to the latest version released by Microsoft and the general enthusiasm of most Nigerians towards this. However, like every new gadget or technology that is released, most times the end users are oblivious of the hidden facts behind such release and tend to only look at the beautiful and shiny graphics without any checks on how the new system affects their existing conditions. Here is an heads up. According to Microsoft's newly implemented policy on installation of Windows 10 OS updates. "All updates are forced upon users with no opt-out ability." This in layman's language means, you cannot turn off those data guzzling automatic updates. What is the implications for Nigerian users? We all understand how our internet services is rationed and expensive. Except for big corporations, most end user data subscriptions are always capped while an average update of windows always tends towards downloads measuring hundreds of megabytes or Gigabytes and which invariably means users who connect their modems to their systems may max out on their data in the space of days due to the forced updates. To avoid stories that touch or that usual curses on network providers. If you are willing to Upgrade to Windows 10, understand it comes with consequences. You may not have any option than to avoid connecting your system to a modem, phone hotspot or local network if you don't want to zap out your mb in the space of hours. This is not to discourage people from updating to windows 10. It is a better and sleeker OS in my own opinion when compared to the "graphics laden and hard to navigate windows 8 OS" but nonetheless people need to be aware of its cons before diving into it. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

SOS! SOS! Or MAY DAY! Please call me as soon as you get this. I am being attacked by a virus. It has eaten up my over 2000 music track. Eaten up my beautiful hunky pictures! It has even entered my phone SD and before I could understand this, my phone had to be wiped and along went so many of my phone contacts including yours. Hurry up before I smash this laptop! |
