The end has come to everyone’s least favorite operating system, Windows 8. As of January 13, 2016, Microsoft is no longer supporting or patching the operating system they released only 4 short years ago.
According to David Goldman from CNN, nearly 50 million computers are still running Windows 8 so if you have yet to upgrade, we highly recommend you update to Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 as soon as possible. There will be no security updates issued to keep your PC protected; hackers will be looking to attack users who are slow to make the transition to a newer version of Windows.
If you need help ensuring your data is backed up before the upgrade or need assistance with the conversion feel free to reach out ask LME help.
