End of support for Windows Vista?

I read on the website of mutiple Microsoft gives more updates for Windows Vista Home Premium after April 10, 2012. Is this true? On the official Microsoft page (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/products/home), it says: "Microsoft sells more than Windows Vista, although we will continue to support. It is still available from some retailers. " And when I look on the end of Support page (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/end-support), he said only that the support for SP1 had completed last year.

So I'm a bit confused. I would be grateful is someone could clarify that for me.

Hello remco8264,

Please see the end of support for the OS to Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 at the following link:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/lifecycle

You wouldn't get updates for Windows Vista SP1, but if you install your service pack SP2, you will always receive updates.

I hope this helps.

  • When and what can expect to happen to my computer after the end of support for windows XP?

    What is Pageheap?

    The answer to your direct question, when you think that say you, is a Google search away.

    -It is not supported to Microsoft for an operating system you probably have to worry.

    It is your own ability to stay static, I want a computer faster, better equipment, a new printer, scanner, camera, etc.

    The manufacturer of the software or hardware that you use every day will probably abandon Windows XP well before the April 2014 date when Microsoft stops by releasing the same critical patches for Windows XP.

    Their new printers will have only Windows Vista drivers, maybe just Windows 7.

    Their new scanners, cameras, etc. will be the same.

    I don't see the major software companies (AutoDesk, Apple, Adobe, etc.) continues to produce products that would work on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 and what comes next in 2014.

    Everyone always loves to find a single entity to blame for their reluctance to change with technology - but usually it's just the changing world overall - not a single instance of it.

    Having said that - there are many people who still use Windows 98 twelve down on the line.

    They can't see certain things on certain web pages, cannot use certain devices, they might be able to pick up at their local drug/warehouse, even store and using the latest versions of major software packages are probably a lost - cause but they do very well in their microcosm.

    So - it mainly depends on you and your ability to do not change.

    In light of your previous question, this web page may be one that is useful to you:

  • I will be able to reinstall my windows if necessary after the end of support for Windows 7?

    Original title: windows supports

    Last year, I bought Windows7 Home Premium and it works well so far. My question is after January 2020 (after the end of support) I will be able to reinstall my windows if neede? Also if there is no microsoft activation problem help me right here? Also even if the support of the application ends with its suppliers I will be able to download mse, it's to say & essentials of windows from the microsoft Web site myself since the automatic update is not available? or I'll be forced to buy Windows 8, 9, 10 or 11 at this time? Sorry people I know that this issue is too early and not be worried right now but I love windows 7 and I want to run for life so is this possible? Thanks in advance.

    1. Yes, you will be able to reinstall Win7 using the disks provided with your computer, the rescue disks, you have created and/or the hidden restore partition.

    2. where support for Win7 purposes, take in charge ends (for example, activation problems).

    3. There will come a time where the current version of Windows (Live) Essentials is not supported in Win7 - even if your currently installed version of Windows Essentials may continue to be supported for some time.

    4. by the time for purposes of Win7 support, chances are THAT MSE is no longer supported.

    5. No, you don't will be not "forced to buy" a new version of Windows (assuming that Microsoft is still for sale).

  • HID of USB 2.0 high speed, broadband, end points supported for windows 7?

    I have a .net Application which reads the data from the USB from a HID device continuously in User Mode. The HID device using a size of 1024 bytes report and is configured to 3 Transactions by microdot. Also, the interval is configured correctly.

    Ideally, the USB should be able to receive data @ rate 24 MB/s. But my application cannot receive data @ 8 Mbps rate.

    So I wanted to ask if it's a question related windows or the drivers for the HID devices high bandwidth high speed, or can it be overcome using kernel-mode drivers. Or if there is anything else I may be missing

    (On USB 3.0 hub unit communicates successfully with the PC @ 24 MB/s. "So I don't think it's a device related issue).

    Is it true that Microsoft will end Windows Vista, and Windows 7 Home and Ultimate versions are supported in 5 years? Rannvijay Kapoor

    support for Windows vista will be completed two years after the release of windows 8, or five years from the date of release of vista, according to what is more LONG.

    Windows 7 support ends two years after the release of windows 9, five years from the date of release of windows 7, according to which is over long.

    These are minimum estimates, they probably will support them much longer.

  • End of Support with Windows XP - how to proceed now?

    With the announcement of end of support for Windows XP, I have some confusion with the improvement of the OS.

    1. for my system: I will be able to access my system in a similar way as before? Upgradation will not affect my old programs & settings?

    2. for the system of my friend: it is his system with a new that has Windows 8, so how do I move my system data from windows xp to the new switching system?

    (1) before even thinking about upgrading your old system, you must consult the manufacturer of the computer to see if it is expandable to a newer operating system.  Drivers, etc. Yes, the upgrade 'will' effect your old programs and settings. You start with a complete new installation.

    2) ask in forum Windows 8.

  • I'll always be able to get security patches, etc. for Windows Vista SP2 now that support has ended?

    I tried to look in a few different places for a clear answer... I use Windows Vista Home Premium (x 64) with Service Pack 2, and I noticed that "mainstream support" for Vista seems to have ended in April 2012. Does this mean that I no longer able to get the security updates, etc., through Windows Update? I'm a user at home and as far I can tell that Vista has "extended support" until 2017, but I don't think that this applies to individuals.

    I actually really like Vista and want to continue to use it for several years yet.
    Any help would be appreciated, I already looked upwards (must be almost all) Microsoft sites but can't find a simple answer.
    Thank you
