2025 will see Soltech IT continue to donate IT equipment to school's throughout the Southwest as part of our 'Giving Back To Schools' donation campaign.
We were delighted to be able to donate more than £15,000 of 65" and 75" Promethean ActivPanel Touchscreens to six local schools and MAT's.
Gareth Jones, commented "As a business it's great to be able to give something back to schools, be they a customer or not. Our most recent donations have helped transform the learning environments of pupils which is something we are very proud of."
These most recent donations have not only included a 65" or 75" Promethean ActivPanel Touchscreen, the schools have also received WiFi module upgrades, Android functionality, wall mounting brackets and relevant cables, plus delivery, removal / WEEE disposal of old equipment, installation and training, all as part of Soltech IT's donation.
That's around a £3,000 donation at each school or MAT.
In two days time, Microsoft will release Windows 10. It will be available for free to anyone currently using Windows 7, 8 or 8.1.
The “Get Windows 10” app, the white icon in the systray, will check your PC for compatibility. You can run it again later, because its verdict may change as suppliers update their drivers. However, there’s no need to rush: you have 12 months to accept the free Windows 10 upgrade.
In fact, Windows 10 will get a staged roll-out over a month or more: not everybody will be offered the upgrade on 29th July 2015. Also, Windows 10 is still missing a few features, such as extensions for the Edge browser, and a new OneDrive app. It’s a work in progress, and will be continuously updated, so you might want to wait a good 6 months before upgrading.
We would advise anyone wishing to upgrade waits to see if there are any major compatibility problems.
Windows 10 is a better replacement for Windows 7 than Windows 8 ever was, but Windows 7 still works well, so you can keep using it. It will be supported until 2020.
