Experts warns safety risk
With the support end of Windows 10 in October 2025, Microsoft no longer gives free safety updates: Computers with Windows 10 are therefore more susceptible to cyber attacks, as new security intervals are no longer closed. In addition, users can no longer expect free support from Microsoft. Computer experts therefore warns a rapid update to the new Windows 11, which is made available free of charge by Microsoft. According to security company ESET, 32 million computers with Windows 10 are currently running in Germany.
Distance maintenance, exchange, learning videos
Salekreis announced that the Windows 10 operating system runs on all 1200 computers from the district administration. All computers should be restored here by remote maintenance. According to his own statements, Salekreis provides learning videos for employees. In some areas, such as the Jerchover Land, Vineburg district and Altmark District of Salazavedal, Parivartan has been running since last year. While a change is not possible for compatibility reasons, the complete computer is also replaced, it has been asked to the Halle City Administration. This affects about 200 equipment in the hall of the hall, said City spokesman Drago Bok. The counted counties and administrators are optimistic to change all computer systems by October on the latest, so that no safety is concerned.
