In April 2014, Microsoft withdrew support for its popular 12-year old operating system, Windows XP. At that time, approximately 430-million personal computers were still running XP. According to Microsoft, "PCs running Windows XP after April 8, 2014, should not be considered to be protected."
The short-term solution is to upgrade to Windows 7 or 8.1 on your existing computer. However, most Windows XP computers are more than three years old and often are much older. Old hardware runs the risk of having further incompatibilities not to mention running much slower. Operating systems like Windows 7 and 8.1, that run on newer hardware are more advanced, faster and take advantage of many new features not available on Windows XP.
