Is Windows Vista still supported by Microsoft?

Asked a year ago
No, Windows Vista is no longer supported by Microsoft. As of April 11, 2017, Microsoft officially ended all support for Windows Vista, which includes security updates, technical assistance, and software updates. This means that there will be no further updates or patches released to address any new vulnerabilities or issues that may arise. Continuing to use Windows Vista can leave your system at risk as it will no longer receive crucial security updates to protect against the latest threats. To ensure optimal performance and security, it is recommended to upgrade to a newer operating system such as Windows 10, which is currently supported by Microsoft.
