What is a Zettabyte?

10/25/2016

Picture
A zettabyte is 1021 or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes.
One zettabyte (abbreviated "ZB") equals 1,000 exabytes  
A single zettabyte contains one billion terabytes, or one trillion gigabytes. 

If you look at a 1TB (one terabyte) hard drive and think about how many of those you would have to put together  to create a 1ZB (one zettabyte) hard drive, it is pretty impressive . . . 1 billion 1TB hard drives.

Are you concerned about what is going to happen to your Windows PC or Laptop after July 29th, 2016, when Windows 10 is no longer downloadable for free?  There have been a number of people contacting us to inquire about what will happen to their systems.  Will Microsoft charge us for Windows 10?  How will we downgrade to our previous Operating System now?  Well here's the answer . . . 
​
Picture
Per Microsoft's agreement, when you downloaded Windows 10 for free, it is yours for as long as you use the device - whether it is a laptop, a desktop, or another device with Windows 10 on it.  If you did not take advantage of this offer before July 29th, you will have to purchase the Windows 10 upgrade.  Your new devices will come with Windows 10 on them now as well.

Let us know if this helped you.  We like feedback.
