Gaurav Kumar Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I believe that Microsoft has dropped windows xp support, then how one can still get security updates :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBhatt Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I'm running XP in my Vm Machine and It's getting Updates as normal, but it need some tricks to get them. always use manual update, and don't download unnecessary updates, or you will stuck in update loop and it won;t update.

AlanHo Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Why are you digging up old dead threads? Do you lack anything original and of interest? I would not encourage anyone to retain Windows XP unless they were experts at computing and enjoyed a daily battle with malware - which most are not. Windows 10 is the future - get used to it.

Belatucadrus Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I wonder if that explains Lamb Chops lack of activity, her PC used to attempt suicide on a monotonously regular basis but she hasn't been back since April. Maybe a stable reliable OS has given her a quieter life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I was only thinking about that last week. I'm worried I might be starting to think like you..........

Lamb Chop Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Well I'm still in the land of the living and loving using W7. And a Happy New Year to you all.? I own my computer - still using the 2013 one - Gigabyte and its fine. I also paid for W7 software to go onto it. As for 10 - I suspected MS had own reasons for giving it away. - I mean who in business gives away millions if not billion or so for no return? So the return is...........................they know what you do every minute of the time on line. And also control what programs you can install. That's my main reason for not using it. If and when they stop patching it - well in the lap of the Gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Lamb Chop- Nice to see you back here again. I am not aware that Microsoft are giving away free copies of Windows 10 or even offering free updates from Win 7 and Win 8 any more. There are quite a few unauthorised sellers of Microsoft software on Ebay selling license keys - but Microsoft are stamping down on them and freezing illegal software bought by gullible people. As I mentioned in another recent post here - Windows 10 is the future and people clinging to Win XP, Win 7 and Win 8 are going to face increased malware threats as MS support for the older platforms is phased out. I may well be in the minority - but I consider that Windows 10 is the best version of Windows they have produced - and I have tried all of them since its inception as Windows 1.0 in 1985. Microsoft are constantly updating Windows 10 and adding more useful features. Frequent security patches are issued to keep abreast of the malware that is getting more prevalent, more sophisticated and more damaging by the day. This will never end - there will always be malevolent Countries, political/commercial scumbags and hackers attempting to take advantage of Internet connected computers, phones and other devices..

Belatucadrus Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 I've got an XP laptop that still works best with some legacy software and games. It's becoming increasingly hard to use online as browsers and security software drop support but so far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelique024 Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 Mainstream support for Windows XP ended on April 14, 2009, and extended support ended on April 8, 2014. Windows Embedded POSReady 2009, based on Windows XP Professional, received security updates until April 2019. After that, unofficial methods were made available to apply the updates to other editions of Windows XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
