So if you're wondering when is the best time to update your software, the answer is NOW. Keeping your technology updated to the latest version guarantees you access to all the advantages of your software.
Enhanced security:
One of the main missions of updates is to improve security aspects and ensure protection against attacks or vulnerabilities. In addition, older versions of applications are the easiest entry point for cybercriminals. The cybersecurity company McAfee recommends not to postpone software updates, as they are essential for protecting user information.
Friendlier interface and improved user experience:
Design techniques for improving user experience have advanced enormously in recent years, resulting in user-friendly product interfaces, and simplified and much more efficient work processes.
Greater performance:
At a time when applications are becoming more and more powerful in terms of functionalities, they are also becoming lighter for the hardware. Response times are shortened while power is increasing and the consumption of resources is decreasing, so that productivity rises.
In general, it is important to keep in mind that, if your updates are fairly regular, switching from one version to another will be quick and easy.
