Should I / can I install a newer OS on my XP until 2014?

I have a Presario SR2020NX running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. At some point my computer stopped getting updates and frankly I'm tired of trying to solve the problem. I heard that Microsoft was going to stop updates / support in early 2014, so I thought I should just install a new operating system for (hopefully) correct the problems. My question is, is it possible (easily and cheaply) or should I just wait until he goes ka - put and buy a new computer? Thank you!

EPA, welcome to the forum.

If you want to upgrade the operating system for FREE, you can try Ubuntu (prn. oo-boon-too).  I used it for years as a dual-boot.  It's a great OS.  There is an excellent forum to help you.  "Absolute Beginners" Section is a great place to start to learn.

Everything you do with Windows is available from Ubuntu; Open Office is processing.  All programs are FREE.

It would be a new learning experience and give you better performance from your old computer.  Ubuntu is designed to work with computers of lower power.
