PC Pro – Issue 372, September 2025

Windows Decisions, Monitor Tests, and the Month in Tech 💻

The September 2025 issue of PC Pro lands at a moment when plenty of us are staring at a Windows 10 PC and wondering what to do next. Issue 372 makes that decision a little less murky. Across 132 pages, the magazine blends practical advice with hands-on reviews, covering everything from the end of Windows 10 support to a massive monitor megatest and a look at AI tools that can breathe new life into old photos and videos.

Windows 11: All Your Questions Answered

The clock is ticking on Windows 10 support, and Lee Grant’s cover feature walks through the options. Can you still use Windows 10 safely? Is there a way to claim an extra year of support? How do you upgrade an older PC that might not meet Windows 11’s requirements? The issue addresses these questions directly, giving readers a clearer view of the trade-offs, costs, and migration paths. There’s also a practical boost: a Laplink PCmover Express licence worth £25 is included for every reader, designed to make moving from an old PC to a new one less painful.

22 Monitors, One Big Test 🖥️

Choosing a monitor can feel like a maze of panel types, resolutions, and refresh rates. The Labs team cuts through the noise with a 22-monitor megatest covering sizes from 24in to 34in. The goal is simple: help you find a screen that fits your desk, your work, and your budget. Reviews include models from AOC, Asus, Eizo, HP, Iiyama, MSI, Philips, Sharp, ViewSonic, BenQ, Acer, Dell, and more. Whether you need a reliable office display, a color-accurate panel for creative work, or a high-refresh screen for gaming, the round-up offers detailed measurements and verdicts.

Hardware Reviews: Foldables, Laptops, and Graphics

The review section is just as packed. Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold7 gets the full treatment, with the magazine weighing its £1,799 price against its improved slimness, speed, and camera performance. The Galaxy Z Flip7 also appears, alongside the Nothing Phone (3). On the laptop side, you’ll find the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i Gen 10 (14in Intel), the Razer Blade 14 (2025), the Medion Erazer Scout 15 E1, the Asus ROG Flow Z13 (2025), and the HP OmniBook 5 NGAI 16-ag1001na. Graphics enthusiasts can read up on the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT, while handheld PC fans can check out the Lenovo Legion Go S running SteamOS.

AI, Wi-Fi, and Everyday Tech Fixes

Nik Rawlinson explores the growing market of AI tools for enhancing photos and videos, showing what’s possible when algorithms step in to sharpen, upscale, or restore images. Elsewhere, the magazine examines the Wi-Fi warzones found on trains and at festivals, explains how to keep your processor from overheating, and offers guidance on preparing for network failure. There’s also a look at Wi-Fi 7 mesh systems, UTM appliances for small businesses, NAS devices, and even a retro spotlight on the Amstrad PCW 8256 — a reminder of how Britain’s home-computing history still shapes today’s technology conversations.

Who Is This Issue For?

If you’re responsible for a small business network, weighing a Windows migration, or simply someone who likes to stay informed about the latest hardware and software, this issue has plenty to offer. The mix of buyer’s guides, expert opinions, and deep-dive features makes it useful for IT professionals, tech enthusiasts, and anyone who wants practical answers rather than marketing gloss. The regular columns from writers like Dick Pountain, Nicole Kobie, Barry Collins, Jon Honeyball, and Davey Winder add perspective and personality throughout.
