Do you use Windows 7? Office 2010? Exchange 2010?
Millennium Bug, GDPR and now the 2020 Problem.
A number of Microsoft titles are going ‘end of life’ in 2020. Previously many people didn’t care about these things until the computer needed replacing and then buying the new version of Office, Windows, etc but, for businesses, GDPR now has to be considered and using unsupported software is frowned upon.
If you’re on an earlier version of window 7 and it’s the 32 bit edition you may need to spend longer making sure any programs you run are 64 bit compatible.
Office and Exchange can be replaced by Office 365 cloud version in most cases without too many problems

GDPR headache solved
Oh what a headache. GDPR is finally here. We’ve written a guide to make it easy for you
Most businesses have been putting this off for years.
Putting what off? Implementing the new GDPR data protection laws. It finally comes into play on 25th May.
Like any piece of European legislation, it’s big and complicated and has a lot of pain if you get it wrong.
GDPR law change in May is dull – but will have a big effect on your business
In May next year, a major data law will come in… and your business needs to get ready now.
It’s called GDPR – General Data Protection Regulation – to replace the data protection act.
And the fines for breaking it are huge… up to €20m. Scary.
The main aim of GDPR is to give individuals a greater level of control over their personal data. This means that all companies who hold any customer information will be subject to strict rules.
