As of October 10th, 2023, Microsoft will stop providing technical support, security updates, and bug fixes for Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2. It applies to all license versions: Standard, Datacenter, Essentials, Foundation, and for Embedded Systems.
Office 2010 was built to help users to become more productive. But, as we know, software and technology development force us to adjust to the new digital era. Many organizations moved to the cloud and they already went through the digital transformations of their businesses.
So, why is Office 2010 not appropriate for your organization? Its extended support will end on October 13, 2020. And from that date, users will no longer have:
Also, they will not be able to download Office 2010 apps from the Microsoft web site.
We recommend an upgrade to Microsoft 365 Apps.
If you decide to use Office 2010 after the end of the support date, your Office applications will function, but your business will be exposed to potential risks.

The Internet has become a pillar of everyday life. Most of the computer-based jobs require work within the web browser. That was the main reason why Microsoft wanted to create the best browser for its users. The stable release of the Edge browser is available from today, and there are several reasons why you should get it!
Edge is bringing new features focused on business users. You don’t need to use a Google account; it supports sync services directly through both Microsoft personal and work accounts.
It also has tracking prevention turned on by default, which protects user privacy, and helps mitigate malware. Edge gives you more control over your data, and it will not send any information to Google, which is mandatory if you use the Google Chrome browser.
The new Edge browser offers the best performance with more privacy and more value for your business.
For web content management, there is a feature called Collections which helps you to organize your research and allows you to export that content to Word or Excel.
Another new feature allows users to customize a new tab page layout and design, and to choose the type of news they want.
It is not crucially important information, but it’s good to know that instead of a well-known blue “e” logo, the new browser has a new visual identity that looks like a wave.
It’s supported on Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8, and macOS, in more than 90 languages.
You can download it directly from the Microsoft Edge site, or you can wait for the automatic release for your device via Windows Update.
For Android and iOS users, the app is available directly on the appropriate platform store.
3 PRO wholeheartedly recommends the new Edge browser because it integrates closely with the existing Microsoft infrastructure/ecosystem, and does not depend on 3rd party services, such as Google’s. All Microsoft services are natively built-in; for example, logging in with a Microsoft or Work account, Policy and Conditional Access support for Corporate users, integration with other enterprise services such as Advanced Threat Protection, etc.
As an added benefit, the new Edge browser can also utilize almost the entire base of pre-existing Google Chrome extensions!
The Windows 7 End of Support date is approaching: January 14, 2020. Microsoft will no longer provide software updates, technical assistance, nor security updates.
Without security updates, your system is vulnerable.
To avoid unpleasant situations, we recommend that you move to Windows 10 before January 2020. You can keep your files on your PC when upgrading and the user interface is similar to Windows 7, so orientation should not be a problem. Windows 10 can be used on multiple devices including PCs and tablets. And also, it is faster than Windows 7 on modern hardware.
Back up your files before the upgrade just to be sure.
The minimum system requirements for Windows 10 are as follows:
For an optimal and comfortable experience, we recommend the following baseline:
