APC #552

December 2025’s APC, packed for practical tech readers

APC #552 brings together the kind of technology coverage readers return to month after month: clear buying advice, timely security guidance, and hands-on reviews of the devices people are most likely to be researching right now. This issue leans heavily into real-world usefulness, with feature articles on password managers, secure data erasure, and moving from Windows 10 to Windows 11, alongside a broad round-up of current tech news and product testing.

What’s inside this issue

• Security-focused features on protecting personal data and keeping accounts safer.
• Windows guidance for readers preparing to make the jump from Windows 10 to Windows 11.
