Windows XP Support Ends After 13 Years

April 8th, 2014 10 years ago

The discontinuation of support for Windows XP marked a significant change in the computing landscape. Microsoft officially ended its support for Windows XP, which had been one of the most widely used operating systems worldwide since its launch in 2001. Users were encouraged to upgrade to newer systems like Windows 7 or Windows 8. The end of support meant that no new security updates or support would be provided, highlighting the risks for users who remained on the outdated platform.
