Windows 7 expiring in January 2020

Hiya Folks,

this is Matt Bentley, your local & loyal computer support technician. I've recently renamed my business from 'Waikato Home PC Support' to 'Bentley Home PC Support', in part because it's my name, and in part because the name carries connotations of esteem, riches, money, fame etc. None of which I actually have of course, but, it's always nice if people think I do ;)

Some of you may have noticed that Windows 7 is expiring in January 2020; what that means is that it will no longer receive security patches from Microsoft, which means it will be unsafe to use on the internet. I have set up a package deal where I will upgrade your Windows 7 computer to Windows 10 for $150. This includes:



(a) Checking the health of your hard drive.(b) Making a backup of the hard drive in case something goes wrong (I will keep this backup for 2 weeks just in case).
(c) Upgrading your computer to Windows 10 and installing the latest updates.
(d) Cleaning it up and disabling the Windows 10 'telemetry' (spyware).
(e) Changing settings so that it acts a bit more like Windows 7 and is more familiar.



This is mainly a drop-off service, though I can pick up depending on where you are. Please note that if you are running Windows 8, there is no need to upgrade immediately (though you can if you want to) - Windows 8 expires in 2023.

If you are running Windows Vista or Windows XP, you definitely shouldn't be using those on the internet (they expired ages ago) and should probably get a new computer. I'm happy to help with that, including selecting a new computer and transferring your data/programs to it.

So if you want to take advantage of the offer, please get in touch.

Cheers,
Matt

Poll: Is it time to lower the speed limit on NZ's open roads?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Long-term road safety data from NZTA suggests speed limits on almost 90 per cent of the country's roads are too high and should be lowered.

In 2019 so far, 172 people have been killed on New Zealand's roads, six more than at the same time last year.

Long-term road safety data from NZTA suggests speed limits on almost 90 per cent of the country's roads are too high and should be lowered.

In 2019 so far, 172 people have been killed on New Zealand's roads, six more than at the same time last year.

Ministry of Transport data for 2016, the most recent available on its website, makes for sobering reading – 328 deaths from 286 fatal road crashes, or 0.9 deaths for every 10,000 vehicles.

Poll: Is it time to raise New Zealand's superannuation age?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Outgoing Retirement Commissioner Diane Maxwell has been outspoken about the need to increase the pension age from 65.

"You used to get super for five years, then 10 and now 20 - soon it'll be 30. I'm not sure how we can fund people getting super for 30 years or more."

Outgoing Retirement Commissioner Diane Maxwell has been outspoken about the need to increase the pension age from 65.

"You used to get super for five years, then 10 and now 20 - soon it'll be 30. I'm not sure how we can fund people getting super for 30 years or more."

New Zealand has one of the simplest pension schemes in the world - all you have to do is be old enough and have lived in the country long enough and you can get it.

But that also makes it expensive - about $14.5 billion this year. Jobseeker benefits, by comparison, cost just $1.7b and sole parent support $1.08b.
