Some Things To Consider Before You Upgrade To Windows 10

ArtsHacker.comWe already covered the basics that upgrading to Windows 10 is pretty much a no-brainer but before you do, there are a few things you should do in order to avoid some potential bear traps and to make the process as smooth as possible.

In particular, you’ll want to make sure that not only are your hardware and peripherals are ready to upgrade, but their related drivers are as well. I published an article today at ArtsHacker.com that covers those items and more along with providing direct links to related resources.

About Drew McManus

"I hear that every time you show up to work with an orchestra, people get fired." Those were the first words out of an executive's mouth after her board chair introduced us. That executive is now a dear colleague and friend but the day that consulting contract began with her orchestra, she was convinced I was a hatchet-man brought in by the board to clean house.

I understand where the trepidation comes from as a great deal of my consulting and technology provider work for arts organizations involves due diligence, separating fact from fiction, interpreting spin, as well as performance review and oversight. So yes, sometimes that work results in one or two individuals "aggressively embracing career change" but far more often than not, it reinforces and clarifies exactly what works and why.

In short, it doesn't matter if you know where all the bodies are buried if you can't keep your own clients out of the ground, and I'm fortunate enough to say that for more than 15 years, I've done exactly that for groups of all budget size from Qatar to Kathmandu.

For fun, I write a daily blog about the orchestra business, provide a platform for arts insiders to speak their mind, keep track of what people in this business get paid, help write a satirical cartoon about orchestra life, hack the arts, and love a good coffee drink.
