WINDOWS UPGRADE 2

Question 1

Windows is an operating system manufactured by Microsoft Company. The latest version was

released in July 2015, bearing the name Windows 10. Upgrading to windows 10 from windows 7

is a good idea for a company because of two reasons. First, the ability of windows 10 to scan all

the hardware and software in a computer is advantageous to the company. Normally, some

employees undertake malicious activities using pirated and illegal software (Halsey, 2015). This

malicious activities include fraudulent activities such as money laundering, hacking of

information systems and creation of malwares to company systems. Through scanning, Windows

10 is able to identify and detect illegal and pirated software and hardware, and hence improves

security on company information systems. Therefore, the management of company can be made

aware of attempted illegal activities by employees and necessary actions taken accordingly.

Secondly, multiple desktop to separate activities by Windows 10 is absolutely useful in company

operations. Where a user is interested in undertaking several operations in the same computer, to

avoid confusion and losing files, operating multiple desktops can save reduce such menace. For

instance, a customer agent running customer management system in one desktop and enterprise

resource planning (ERP) on the other desktop, enhance easy operations.

Question 2

As opposed to windows 7, in Windows 10, updates are installed automatically as they become

available without the need for user’s authenticity (Rhodes & Bettany, 2016). In windows 7, users

have control over downloading and installing updates, where they can choose to when and if to

install updates. The feature of automatic software update (forced updates) by Windows 10

degrades usability principle of user control and freedom. The user need to take control of how his

or her computer is running.
