I just heard on the news that as of midnight tonight, Microsoft will no longer be giving support or security updates for Windows XP users. Windows XP was born about 12 years ago & several newer versions have come about since. Can anyone tell me which came first: Windows XP or Windows 7. My computer is getting old (Windows 7) but still works good. I am wondering if I will lose my security updates, as well. Anyone know?

I believe I posted something about this a while back and I was blasted for saying it.

XP came out before 7. If you have 7 you are fine.

XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 then 8.1

Sparkle,

You should be fine with Windows 7 for quite a while if MS holds true to form. There is only one full newer version.

The new Windows will be similar to Windows 7. I like it! DH upgraded our computer from XP to Win 7 in December, since many shopping websites didn't support XP anymore...

Oh, thank ya'll so much.

I posted about this last week. I thought we had Windows XP yet. I was WRONG. We have Windows 7. I think Windows and Apple should stand by their products more no matter what. Period.

So what is the solution for this problem if you have XP? Anybody know?

if you have XP, you should probably get a new computer. XP is really old and therefore, your computer is also really old. If you are computer savvy, you might want to upgrade it and see what happens. It might be your computer cannot handle windows 7 or 8, because it is not powerful enough.

OR you can just roll the dice & do nothing and once your computer dies or gets a virus, you then get a new computer.
