So, what does 'Digital transformation' really mean? Smart Answers has a good idea, curating the insight generated from decades of reporting. Find out: What does digital transformation mean today?

Starting in October 2025, you’ll have to pay for security updates if you want to keep using Microsoft’s nearly-nine-year-old operating system.

You can still upgrade old and officially 'unsupported' Windows 10 PCs to Windows 11, and this week in Computerworld we showed you how. Good news. But is it relevant to you and your PCs?
