I’ve got an older desktop running Windows XP, and recently got a notebook running Windows 10. I’m still getting used to Windows 10; but, it has some good points.

Microsoft stopped supporting XP several months ago; and that is an increasingly inconvenient change for me. You don’t get security upgrades — although I have Norton for that. The biggest problem is that you won’t be able to update various programs. That problem just keeps building up.

If you upgrade to 10, you’ll be assured of support for years to come. If you stick with 7, it you might soon find that it is no longer supported. Anyhow, that’s something to consider.

When is the last time you actually needed XP support? Any support from Microsoft anyway? Really?
