Another OS that we wonโ€™t have to worry about patching.   Most of our users are on Win10 and many moving to Win11 now.  Still some diehards on Win7.  ๐Ÿ˜‚

Not the post I was expecting! I saw today that in Microsoftโ€™s final patch for Windows 7 they added secure Boot support, thought this was going to be a how-to enable that ๐Ÿ˜†
