    It's 2019 do I ditch the bios bootup password?


    Hello,

    I've used a bios bootup password on my old laptop for many years. I've just got a 2018 Lenovo X1 Carbon which currently does not have a bios boot password. With changes in technology (my decision to use a bios password was very long ago) I wonder if there's still good sense in using a bios password, or perhaps this is no longer so important in 2019? My laptop uses bitlocker.

    Thank you

    Matt

    :)

    Dell bios passwords 595B and 2A7B

    I have a Dell E4310 with BIOS Admin password
    I have tried the standard keygen for 2A7B, but the password does not work, I thought it may be a keyboard issue and replaced the keyboard, but the password still will not work - Any suggestions?

    Office 2019

    Only supported on Win10. Sorry, 8.1 users, only 4 years old, gotta go.

    Spoiler Office 2019
    Last year at Ignite, we announced Office 2019 – the next perpetual version of Office that includes apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business). Today we’re pleased to share the following updates:

    • Office 2019 will ship in H2 of 2018. Previews of the new apps and servers will start shipping in the second quarter of 2018.
    • Office 2019 apps will be supported on:
      • Any supported Windows 10 SAC release
      • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018
      • The next LTSC release of Windows Server
    • The Office 2019 client apps will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We will not provide MSI as a deployment methodology for Office 2019 clients. We will continue to provide MSI for Office Server products.
