Microsoft has announced that the support for Windows 7 will cease on January 14, 2020, which means that there will be no normal or security-related updates after that date.
We therefore recommend an upgrade to Windows 10, which we provide free of charge. If you wish, we can help you with the installation and, if necessary, take over for you.
If you still have concerns about the upgrade, you can visit us or contact us. We will be happy to advise you further.
Currently, many employees are showing their interest in GitLab.
Herewith we would like to refer to the official ZDV website, which contains all important information.
Currently many users are experiencing licensing issues related to Office 2010.
