Next month, on April 8th, Windows XP users will experience their very last Patch Tuesday. After that date, Microsoft will no longer provide updates of any kind. If you’ve been meaning to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, it’s time to stop procrastinating and take action.
As long as you have Windows Update currently enabled, the end of support for Windows XP shouldn’t come as a surprise. Last week Microsoft pushed out an out-of-band update titled “A notification about the end of Windows XP support.” Once this update has installed, you’ll get periodic popup reminders that support is ending. Don’t check the box to turn off this reminder; leave it in place until you’ve taken action.
