Loddon Valley Link August 2026 edition - https://mailchi.mp/39b63100faa7/loddon-valley-link-aug26

11/07/2026

At our June meeting in Sherfield on Loddon, we did our first successful Windows 10 to Linux migration. The process was quite simple and took less than an hour to install and setup Linux for the customer. If you're still unsure about whether Linux is right for you, then book in for a "repair" where you can try Linux on one of our demo PCs. The look and feel is very similar to Windows, so you might be surprised! That said, Microsoft has pushed support for Windows 10 out to October 2027, but you need to sign on to the ESU program (check windows update option under Settings).

New venue for our next meeting. We are off to Bramley Village Hall on the 25th July!!
