Windows 10 hides a secret folder with many useful settings usually hidden deep within the Operating System.

Microsoft is named “God Mode” and it provides a large range of Administration tools and tweaks.

God Mode isn’t new, it has been around for quite some time in older iterations of Windows and even in the latest version of Windows, it is alive and kicking.

Our email wasn’t performing very well so we asked Hamilton Systems to take a look & Carl proposed to migrate us to MS Exchange.

Carl was very helpful throughout & the migration went very well.

He was on hand to sort out any teething issues, taking calls early morning & into the night, to ensure we were up & running smoothly.

Would recommend for knowledge, attention to detail & great customer service.”
