License License, where's the License...
Windows used to put a COA on your system when you purchased your computer, and they gave you a disk as well in case you had to reload and use your COA (Certificate of Authenticity)...
Then Microsoft stopped putting a COA on the machine and the MFG gave you a proprietary disk for the machine that you could reload off of...
Then they both stopped giving you the disk and the COA altogether and started loading the system with what the industry called a "Preload"...
That's when things got interesting because if you had to replace your hard drive you would have to buy the operating system along with the Hard Drive which pissed a lot of people off...
It pissed them off because when they bought the system it was sold as a system that came with the Operating System and now they're being made to purchase a 100 dollar OS...
Then they began to work with the public by providing a reload Disk that you had to Purchase for 25.00, but this was worse because the disk always left the machine slow after installation or it didn't work at all...
It began to be one of the worst times for computer manufactures and because of this dysfunctional era the Clone PC started to become quite popular...
Considering that the customer had to buy a new OS anyway, and reload onto an old system which didn't run as well as a custom made machine, the sell was easy...
The sell was even easier because MFG computers were proprietary and a lot of imbedded components that couldn't be replaced, but Custom made machines didn't have this problem...
Even if you decided to keep the old MFG system the Motherboard alone would cost you as much as a new Custom Made machine would, but the MFG would always be slower and again, an easy sell...
Now fast forward to today...
Systems are still being loaded with a Preload and Custom made machines are just as popular as before and the MFG machines are still proprietary and Custom Made machines are still faster...
However, it doesn't matter because both of these systems have a place in society, one is considered a work machine and the other a gaming machine...
The MFG machines are the corporate choice because the warranty is on the entire system, so if a problem existed with the system they just replace the system...
The Customer made machines have a warranty on the entire system, but with so many different manufacturers in the Custom Made machine each part has a different type of warranty...
On a Custom made machine you typically just replace the component(s) that went bad which means the user has to be technically inclined, which is exactly why Corporations just buy MFG machines...
However, without any further adieu the reason why we are here is because of the Preloaded Operating Systems on MFG systems...
If you have a system with a Preloaded OS and your hard drive has to be replaced that means you'll lose the preload which means the system you purchased with the "So Called" OS will be no more...
Now it gets tricky, let's say your system came with Windows 7 and you took advantage of the Free Upgrade to Windows 10, well if you have to reload your system you'll be going back to Windows 7...
If your system came with Windows 7 and you have to reinstall on a New Hard Drive you'll lose your ability to reload your operating system altogether because you don't have a key...
You can reinstall on a New Hard Drive providing you purchase an Operating System which would be Windows 10, but now you have a new problem...
Your system that came with Windows 7 that was upgraded to Windows 10 for free was a more forgiving OS and it came with the drivers for your system, but if it's 5 years old your chances are 50/50 at best the OS will have the drivers needed for your legacy machine...
Windows 10 Home 64 bit is around 99.00 and the Windows 10 Professional 64 bit is around 160.00 and a new hard drive is about 50 dollars...
The smallest Hard Drive you can get now is a Terabyte hard drive, so unless your downloading a lot of music or movies on your hard drive, you'll never use that much space, but it is what it is...
So your choice is to purchase a 50/50 chance or buy a new system altogether, the 50/50 chance is the cheapest bet if it works (200.00) w/labor, but if you're not a betting person you'll need to buy a new system...
However, this cloud has a silver lining if your system came preloaded with Windows 10 or even Windows 8...
Around 2015 MFG's started loading the COA into the BIOS on the Motherboard so if you had to replace your hard drive it wouldn't matter, but...they don't give you a disk...
This is where it gets tricky again...
If you know someone with a Win 10 Disk you can use it, but if you don't know anyone with a Disk you'll be forced to go out and buy a disk 99/160 dollars, but technically you now have two licenses...
Technically because you have a license that's preloaded on your machine and a license that comes with the disk, so if you want you can try that 50/50 machine and if you get lucky you'll have two computers...
You'll also have to buy a disk that your system came with, so if your system came with Home you'll need a Home Disk, or if your system came with Pro you'll need a Pro disk...
The funny thing is Microsoft, Dell, HP, and all the Clone Makers can't understand why computer sales are down...
The other funny thing was is that Computers were here to make life simpler, but nothing could be further from the truth...
Computers like Cars are easy if you're a Technician or a Mechanic, otherwise they're just a money pit for the rest...
So if you're having the problems that we just described in this blog hopefully we have shed some light on some possible solutions for you...

iOS 11.4.1 Update issue...
The latest update from Apple iOS is the 11.4.1 release...
The Big Update of course will be 12 which should be getting ready for release soon...
If you updated already to 11.4.1 you may or may not have come across any issues, but there is one that we know of...
The picture in picture isn't working when you're watching Netflix and using FaceTime...
The fix is you'll need to update your Netflix...
Not all apps are compatible with iOS so keep a lookout for updates in the App Store before you call in...
If you haven't updated, don't, wait until the weekend is over to make sure all bugs are worked out...

Here's an Idea...
"Employers Day"
We currently have a labor day that gives workers a day off, but the Employer still has to pay you even though you're not there...
What we're proposing is an Employers Day, you still go to work, but you'll work for free for one day...
All we've been hearing in the news lately is the victimization of Employers and that they need to do so much more for the people...
Seattle's City Council just tried to pass a head tax to get more money from employers to help them with their intentionally manufactured homeless crisis...
They were just given 195 million dollars and when asked what they did with it, they didn't know, but it's easy, they paid themselves...
Look we know governments are corrupt, that's a given, so let's not go down that road...
Companies provide a lot more than just a paycheck, but most people wouldn't understand even if you explained it to them on what a company does for you...
Even for those that do understand, they don't care and that's where the disconnect is and why it's important to give back to the people that have given to you for so long...
It's pretty simple really, you'll go to work just like normal and punch in so you'll be covered by Workmans comp in case you get hurt, but the money you earn for that day will go into a tax free account for the business...
It's a small token of appreciation for someone that takes heat everyday about how they don't do enough here and give enough there...
Too many people think just for themselves and that needs to change, and in order for it to hit home, you have to hit their wallets...
It's a sad fact, but it's true, you have to hit 'em where it hurts in order for them to realize that other people are looking out for your welfare while you constantly complain about them...
Employers are sad and being sad all the time makes them bitter which in turn reflects on you which affects your outcome...
This isn't just for hourly workers, it's also for salary workers as well, and if you're wondering how they'll do that it's easy, they'll just divide your pay and take out one day's worth, pretty simple stuff...
Managers, Supervisors all will give back just one day of their pay for their employers...
Meanwhile the Employer gets to take the day off, paid ;-)

Apples Low Battery Mode...
As you know we are a new user to iOS so it's been a learning curve for us for awhile...
Recently we were curious about Low Battery Mode and what services you lose when this feature is enabled...
Hope it helps...
