3 reasons why Windows XP must be discarded

There is no doubt that Windows XP is the most successful desktop operating system ever. Although XP has been gradually replaced by Windows 7, but still has a market share of up to 22% in the world, ranked second, for a 12-year operating system, it can be said to be a miracle. However, in the next April, Microsoft will officially stop its support for XP, which means that if you are still using it, you should consider upgrading to Windows 7 or 8, and here are three reasons:

　Productivity

It seems that from some point of view, Windows XP is enough to handle everyday productivity applications, it has enough applications, and can do regular operations like surfing the Internet. However, from the system interface, and so on, Windows XP has been slightly outdated, not very good support for multiple window arrangement, affecting productivity.

In addition, the latest Windows 8 systems also have better file scanning mechanisms and automatic maintenance capabilities, which are more advanced at the bottom of the system and can effectively improve productivity.

Technology

Windows XP has been around for 12 years and there have been a lot of new technologies, especially PC peripherals. For example, USB 3.0 is a typical example, XP has not been well supported, in addition to including wireless printers, Bluetooth keyboard, 4K monitors, XP has no suitable driver can be used.

　　Security

Security is actually the biggest problem with Windows XP at the moment. Last week, Microsoft issued a security bulletin warning users who still use XP to pay attention to the vulnerabilities. At the same time, according to relevant security research reports, Windows XP SP3 is currently the most threatened operating system, up to 7 of Windows twice times, which also means that XP is more vulnerable to hackers attack. In addition, because Microsoft will soon stop its support for XP, XP users will face more threats.

In total, Windows XP is a great operating system, but no matter how successful the product, there is a day out of the history stage. Even if you don't like changing the larger Windows 8/8.1, we can choose a better windows 7.
