Some Queestions regarding end of Support & Malware Protection in windows 8

Hello..

I use windows 8 company on my desktop pc (3 GHz Intel Pentium D, internal chart of 256 MB, 1 GB of RAM)...

Question 1-

I read on the diagram of lifecycle on the Microsoft Web site, "customers have 24 months to switch to Windows 8.1 after general availability to remain supported. See Windows 8.1 FAQ for more information"- does that mean? right next to it, it was written that this window of 8 standard support ends 01/09/2018... so, how do we have 24 months to upgrade? Pls explain. I feel like I'm on a sinking ship while using windows 8... :(

Question 2-

My internet connection is measured. so I disabled the windows updates to backup my data. According to my knowledge, I think that, when support ends, only the "windows updates" function won't work, right? I'll be able to install other applications of office & windows store apps even after support for purposes of windows 8?

Question 3-

I can fully count on the defender of windows for windows 8 for the security of my PC? I have a doubt if it blocks online attacks or not...  Also, windows Defender will receive definition updates after the end of support for windows 8?

------

Thanks in advance to all Seraphim :)

Question for you: why don't you not upgrade to 8.1 of Windows and the subsequent update 1 for Windows 8.1?

It isn't a thing of charges and if you do it right (backup, make sure system image backup, data of course your device drivers are updated to the manufacturers, updated to Windows 8.1) - the risk is minimal all the problems arising (this is an update, there are always risks to perform or not their fulfillment).  Assuming that it is only your Internet meter - you must learn to work around that.

Another link Internet (even another computer) allows to get the ISO for 8.1...
http://www.CNET.com/how-to/how-to-download-the-official-Microsoft-Windows-8-1-ISO/
Create a DVD or a USB stick to it and use it to update.  If you have Enterprise edition, as you said, someone in your organization must understand how to proceed.

You can also use the "other Internet connection, etc." to get the update 1...

http://www.ExtremeTech.com/computing/178091-how-to-download-and-install-Windows-8-1-update-1-for-free-right-now

... According to the instructions it six updates.

Overall, no matter what, you'd be better to have the latest edition of the operating system that you have chosen to use that to hang on some old version of the above operating system.

    Hi Boy.

    Uninstall the security software and check if the error occurs. If not then you may need to contact the manufacturer of the antivirus software.

    Note: The computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; Be sure to activate security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after identifying the problem.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Hello

    Some antivirus/security products may cause this error. McAfee, Norton, Windows Live OneCare.
    ThreatFire are some. What antivirus/antispyware/security products you have on machine now. And
    who have you ever on it, even if you have uninstalled them. (They leave leftovers that cause
    strange questions.) Therefore a number in your case.

    Check the default services and dependencies to ensure that they are running.

  • 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).

  • Cannot turn on FileVault 2: "some disc formats do not support the recovery partition" version of the OS - 10.11.4

    Hello

    I went to turn on FileVault encryption for the first time, and when I click on restart (by FileVault guests) I got a error message that says "FileVault can not be enabled for the drive. Some disc formats do not support the required encryption recovery partition. To use encryption, reinstall this version of Mac OS x on a reformatted drive. »

    I found an article from apple support for this problem with El Capitan who recommended first aid running in disk utility.  I tried this but then received the same error message.

    a little history:

    -Mac OS 10.11.4 installed running on the brand/model ADATA SP 550 SSD

    -This SSD is a 250 GB drive partitioned into two, with one of these partitions being my OS

    -J' ran this BONE of a Bay external thunderbolt

    -ssd is formatted as HFS journaling +.

    I am really confused about this error message and couldn't find much online about it.  I use a fairly recent OS install.  I installed the operating system clean and made all my preferences and install so that I can encrypt and then back up this pristine OS environment in time machine so that I could always go back to it on the line in case where things are bunk too upward.  I'd have to install yet another OS to clean and do all my long software installs and system preferences settings... SIP.  I don't know if that makes a difference, but this version of the OS that I have been cloned by superduper to this SSD partition.

    What is the brand of SSD that I?  Might that matter?  I appreciate all the comments.  I'm really scratching my head...

    Thank you very much

    To enable FileVault, you need a recovery partition, which you don't have. You can create one by reinstalling OS X.

    If you do not already have a current backup, please backup all data, and then reinstall the OS. * you don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need the backup unless something is wrong. If the system has been upgraded an earlier version of Mac OS X, you may need to the Apple ID and password to use.

    There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

    If you installed the runtime Java distributed by Apple, and still need, you will need to reinstall it. It goes the same for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.

    Related support article refers to OS X 10.11 ("El Capitan"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later versions.

  • What is the date of end of support for Firefox version 19?

    I wish to confirm the date of end of support for version 19, February 2013?

    Security updates support ends when the next version of Firefox is released, so while Firefox 20 was released 6 weeks ago and 21 Firefox will be available Tuesday, May 14, that means that Firefox 19 is is no longer officially supported.

    I see that you are still running Firefox 17.

    Is there a special reason why you don't have not updated to the current version?

    The version of Firefox Firefox 17 that you are currently running is no longer compatible with security updates

    Please upgrade to the latest version of Firefox 20.0.x.

    We are a University use an updated internal development of e-Learning applications which makes use of a framework rich client (ZK - www.zkoss.org). For reasons of compatibility with this application, as well as other general factors, we have standardized on FF 3.6 browser for all our desktop computers. Normally, we will review our browser selection once a year and make the changes/updates to compatibility level for 3 rd-party libraries we use and our own code, in order to address new developments in the browser market.

    However the FF of the new policy of difficult liberation our lives check. FF 6 came out just months after 5 FF. We perform an upgrade, we have to do a systematic series of tests, settings, changes etc. regression tests. The cost is not possible for us to do this every 3 months! So please can anyone point us to a clear release plan for FF that shows, for each version:

    a. Release date

    New versions are will be released every 6 weeks, so until Mozilla announced they will do than support for a LTS version for business 'customers', you guys left to swing in the breeze as well as to be able to plan for the future with Firefox. I think that as long as the said decision is taken, support for Firefox 3.6 versions will continue. A 3.6.22 release is under development right now, probably for immediate release next week.

    As far as the end of support dates, as each new version is the version support ends for the previous version, with the exception of 3.6.x. currently Firefox 3.6.x and 6.0.x are the only versions that receive security updates. Firefox 4.0 and 5.0 is not 'supported' any longer.
