Facility Updates
The Windows 10 system in seat OR 2-4 (that looked like it had been reset) has been replaced with a new Windows 11 system.
We currently have 4 Windows 10 systems remaining in the Open Room, and 2 student Windows 10 systems in the Classroom. The plan is to upgrade these to Windows 11, or replace them with Windows 11 systems, by the end of summer.
The PC at OR1-1 was taken out of service.
A new PC (Optiplex with an Intel I9 Gen 13 CPU, 32GB of memory, AMD video card) was installed at OR1-1. It has Corel Paintshop Pro 2021, Adobe Photoshop Elements 2025, and a couple free photo editors. It also has DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premier Elements 2025 for video editing. It should be a good system for serious photo and video editing.
The PC at OR2-2 was upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11.
Several members have commented that the PC at OR4-2 looks like it has a virus. A full virus scan was done. Nothing was found.
The ancient Chromebook in the Display case was taken out of service.
The Chromebook from seat OR3-4 was moved to the Display case.
The PC in OR3-1 was relocated to OR3-4 and renamed appropriately.
A new PC was installed at seat OR3-1. This system has Cyberlink Photo Director for photo editing (current program and includes AI capabilities). It will also have Family Tree Maker 2024 when it is available.
