Windows XP should be a thing of the past now, but sadly many users are still having a hard time parting ways of this dead operating system
On April 8th, 2014 Microsoft officially end Windows XP support, but today a strong 250 Million users are still using this operating system.
According to Net Applications, Windows XP users account for nearly 17 percent of worldwide share.
Why should I upgrade?
Windows XP is a security concern. Win XP-based machines are still stable, but Microsoft will no longer roll out security updates for it. That means a computer with OS will be more susceptible to hackers and malware, which could exploit flaws that Microsoft is no longer fixing to gain access to your machine and steal your personal information.
