Why You May Want To Upgrade Your Outdated Business Computers Right Now

•

For small businesses investing on new computers can be a hefty expense. Nonetheless, continuing to work with old, outmoded computers can cost your organization in several ways – including downtime, maintenance, repairs, and security risks.

Software support:

•

If your business computers are too outdated to run modern software, it is likely your software support may be outdated, as well. For instance, for the 5 years after a release, Microsoft provides customers help without any charge. Then, for the upcoming 5 years, it charges for all support apart from its online help database.

Security risks:

•

Computer systems running out-of-date software applications are generally at greater risk of security issues. This is partially because developers ultimately stop allotting security updates and fixes for new bugs. Another major problem is that the longer an exact piece of software is out, the longer hackers have to discover and abuse its faults.

Maintenance expenses:

•

Out-of-date computers are more expected to face performance issues because of normal wear and tear. Other issues prompt software problems gradually, like registry errors, file fragmentation, and out-of-date drivers. A survey found that the standard cost of maintaining a computer that was over 3 years old is 28% higher than buying a newer PC. Moreover, on average, older PCs costs more than $500 to upgrade and repair.
