Do Your Church PCs Need An Upgrade?
Windows 10 support ends Oct. 2025 which means no more updates or security fixes for computers running that operating system.
If your church needs help determining if your computer can upgrade to Windows 11, GCFA has provided resources through UMC Technology Support to help you stay secure and up-to-date.
UMC Support can check your upgrade eligibility to determine if you can upgrade or if you need a new PC. If your PC is not eligible to upgrade, they offer deep discounts to help you save money.
