No more security updates for Windows 8.0 from January 12th - time to upgrade !

Recommended Posts

Microsoft have stopped releasing Security updates and patches for Windows 8.0, so if you are using that platform it's time to upgrade it to at least 8.1 or Windows 10.

To get details about this support see the following statement on their Lifecycle page here

 

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/gp/lifecycle-windows81-faq

 

I've bolded the relevant text

 

Windows 8.1 falls under the same lifecycle policy as Windows 8, and will reach end of Mainstream Support on January 9, 2018, and end of Extended Support on January 10, 2023. With the General Availability of Windows 8.1, customers on Windows 8 have 2 years, until January 12, 2016, to move to Windows 8.1 in order to remain supported.

 

 

cheers
