Should I Upgrade to Windows 11?
Episode summary
If you are sticking with Windows 10, I highly recommend installing the InControl app from my favorite security podcaster, Steve Gibson.
Fair warning: his website looks like it s straight out of the early 2000s and is geared toward technical folks like me. If you poke around, just be ready for some serious computer geekiness.
The good news: his app is dead simple to use. Download it, double-click to run, click the "Take Control" button, and the big red text will turn green -- letting you know that Microsoft can't trick you into accidentally upgrading to Windows 11 before you're ready.
