Support for XP expires on April 8th; I'm 98% sure none of you have ever contacted Microsoft for support so there isn't really much reason to worry.

BTW, Windows 7 generally can run on systems that XP ran on (I do this all the time with computers since I hate W8).

Your ISP doesn't matter as far as your operating system goes.

Thank you ladies :). She's at her moms this weekend, I pick her back up tomorrow at 6:30 then have her till Tues at 6:30 then get her back for a weekend visit (split is 50/50 with transition days Sun/Tues/Fri at 3/4 days per week, semi confusing lol).

I've played extensively with W8, and I'm just not a fan, W7 they hit it right (WXP as well); I spent a good 6 hours hunting down drivers for my moms W8 laptop so she could run W7.

Your a good daddy an a good son.

W7 is what I use.. I will stick with it.

Why do you think folks like the Ipod an Ipads so much.
I still prefer these old types.

I have an android tablet that I either do not know all it can do or I am not a fan---- why
I am currently looking at getting a new computer.--IF I get a laptop or a surface (like my DD thinks I should) then my DH can wipe this desktop and use it just for himself.

I print quite a lot so I am torn---so we shall see...

They're not providing support or updates for it any further; make sure you have a good up to date virus scanner or buy a Windows 7 upgrade disk such as this.

Avast is what I use, weekly auto scan with Spybot Search and Destroy as well (scans for spyware and the like)
