"The Stake Technology Specialist (STS) is primarily responsible for upgrading clerk devices. However, where an STS is not available, the Stake Clerk can work with the Ward clerks and other leaders to make sure updates and setups are performed correctly."
And just when where they planning to tell the STSs? (Grumble.)Existing computers with Windows 7 and Windows 8 have the option to upgrade to Windows 10, but are not required to do so. This is available free of charge, through July 29, 2016.
Any computers not upgraded before the deadline would need to wait for the device to become eligible for replacement (5-year replacement cycle).
That will be an interesting wait and see!russellhltn wrote:And just when where they planning to tell the STSs? (Grumble.)Existing computers with Windows 7 and Windows 8 have the option to upgrade to Windows 10, but are not required to do so. This is available free of charge, through July 29, 2016.

Actually, there will probably be an email to STSs, clerks, and other leaders in the next week or so.
Alternatively, the STS will find out when the current password no longer works.
How long does a 4Gb download take on a 750k DSL line? We may not have long enough unless we get started right away.
According to downloadcalculator.net, it will take 12.7 hours.lajackson wrote: How long does a 4Gb download take on a 750k DSL line? We may not have long enough unless we get started right away.
