Using biometrics (your fingerprint or your face) to log into your computer can be much more convenient and secure than using a password, especially when used as part of multi-factor authentication. You don’t have to change it frequently, and it’s much harder to steal (though it can be done).

One of the best things about using Microsoft products in your business is the variety of options – there is almost always going to be a product that fits your needs. One of the worst things about Microsoft products is figuring out which option is the best one for you. Because there are so many options, it can be difficult to determine which version is best for you.

Windows 10 is no exception. There are several versions of Windows 10 available: Home, Pro, Enterprise, Education, and S. If you’re buying Windows 10 for your business, you’ll need to get either Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 Enterprise (also called Windows 10 ENT). Deciding between these will come down to what features you need and how you want to pay for it.

This annual conference is where Microsoft kicks off their fiscal year with partner companies like PTG (and 20,000 of our peers). It’s three days of keynotes, meetings, breakout sessions (and maybe a few parties) designed to help us improve our business, and in turn, help empower our customers.
