Windows xp is no longer supported

I am disabled with rheumatoid arthritis. I get social security, food stamps, housing assistance. I don't have $100 for another OS. What is a person like me supposed to do when Microsoft decides to no longer support my OS? I get it is outdated, but it's the only one I've got. And if you're wondering how I have a computer first? I bought myself when I was working. I don't have that luxury. Any ideas of what I'm supposed to do now?

Hello

Even if the support ends your XP still works like usual for a long time. Although
There is a chance that a security hole may be exploited you can stop most in keeping
your firewall and updated antivirus updated.

There are many programs antivirus/antispyware free out there like Avast, AVG, and
others.

Check computer and arthritis support groups in your area that may offer
additional assistance.

These forums will always be open where you can get help as needed.

I hope this helps.

    When I try to send the ACCT software.  I get: "Windows mail is no longer supported the hotmail HTTP server, etc, etc, etc..

    Read this tutorial on how to configure the Hotmail e-mail in Windows mail:
    http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com/tips/windows_mail/set-up-Hotmail-Windows-mail.php

    The trick is to enter a fake at first as e-mail * address email is removed from the privacy * (omitting the letter 'h').
    Excerpt:

    A lot has changed since the release of the operating system Windows Vista much maligned with its e-mail program incompetent; for example, e-mailfree Hotmail using the POP Protocol. Nevertheless, the problem persists! Mail accounts Hotmail still can not be set up on Windows Mail if one chooses to walk a path of honesty! When the program Assistant seeshotmail.com after the ' @' sign in the email address, he pours out all a failure message in front of you - see image below.

  • If Windows 7 is no longer supported (it's February 2016) why do I get windows 7 updates?

    * Original title: windows updates 7

    If Windows 7 is no longer supported (it's February 2016) why do I get windows 7 updates?  Are these goods, or viruses?  Thank you.

    Windows 7 is supported up to February 2020 not 2016

    Although the support of the general public is complete (no), but extended support ends in 2020 (updates, patches, etc). See here for more information:

    It will benefit only XP until 2014.

    If you continue to use XP, you could do at your own risk.

    There will be no hotfixes, updates to security for the operating system, including MS IE.

    You can still get updates for Mozilla or Google Chrome, but it'll be up to Mozilla or Google.

    Finally, the programs will cease to exist for XP, just as they did to Win Me etc.

  • Windows Mail is no longer supported by HTTP servers.

    What can I do to solve the following problem?  When I try to attach a photo to an e-mail message, I get the following message is displayed.  'Windows Mail can't stand the HTTP servers used by Hotmail and other web e-mail providers'. I am informed that I need to set up a different e-mail account. When I start to install a different account, I was informed that I already have an account.  I am also advised to see the other options to access my e-mail on the web.  If Microsoft developed and sold a program that caught sometime supported HTTP servers and then is no longer supported HTTP servers then it seems that Microsoft should offer and share a simple solution to this very disturbing problem.  Please notify.

    I had the Geek Squad and out Make It Work guys to solve the problem.   It seems they can't.  If they cannot solve the problem, then I know I'm in trouble.  Maybe there is no solution.   Respectfully, Vista is the 'Edsel' from Microsoft?  Can I replace Vista with Windows 7 without disturbing all the info on/in my PC?

    Your help is greatly appreciated.

  • I use Windows XP and care April 2014 if I always use the it, what will happen after that Microsoft no longer supports it?

    I use Windows XP and care April 2014 if I always use the it, what will happen after that Microsoft no longer supports it?  My computer will become unusable?  It works great and I would keep it if I can.  I use a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop.  Some people have told me that "nothing will happen" and others tell me that my computer will be more vulnerable.  I use ESET NOD 32 and Malwarebytes.  They tell me that they should still continue to work.  I am told that because my computer was purchased in September 2008, he cannot me upgraded to Windows 7.  I'm not a geek and would need assistance "passage" my files from one computer to the other as well.  And then what to do with my old top office.  I'm very worried and I had to face the fact that Microsoft is not going to deliver any security updates patches after April of 2014.

    I can't wait to hear from someone on this problem and more just to go out and invest in Windows 8!  Thank you.

    I can tell you one thing, all or almost of windows xp device drivers will disappear from the computer manufacturers support websites and will reappear on all these shady sites who claim to be download for free but comes with unwanted software. Download the latest device drivers and keep several copies of them and download them to your skydrive or dropbox account fo guard.

    I doubt that will happen. I've seen Windows 2000 drivers still on websites mfg.
