According to an article published in CRN magazine, the software giant is to cease support for Windows XP SP2 from 13 July as part of its wider End of Life support policy, meaning users must upgrade to SP3 or Windows 7.

Ian Moulster, Windows product manager at Microsoft, said those who failed to do so will no longer receive security updates or software patches for XP SP2, leaving their systems vulnerable to attack.

“It’s really important that people upgrade to Windows 7 or Sp3 to ensure the operating system they are using is a feature-rich and secure as possible”
