Another OS that we won’t have to worry about patching.   Most of our users are on Win10 and many moving to Win11 now.  Still some diehards on Win7.  😂

Not the post I was expecting! I saw today that in Microsoft’s final patch for Windows 7 they added secure Boot support, thought this was going to be a how-to enable that 😆

At least boot is secure in an unsecure OS 😂
