Microsoft to end support and updates for Windows XP

Are you Using Windows XP? It’s great right? I use it at home personally. One thing that Microsoft does for it’s customers is updates. Most machines are set up to update automatically. You can also go to the Start button, Click All Programs, then Click Windows Updates. From that panel you can select and install what updates you want.

But those updates will be ending April 8th 2014. It’s a couple years off but that will give you the time it needs to make some decisions. Maybe by 2014 you’ll want a whole new system. And guess what? Treasure Valley IT can help you pick out the system that works best for YOU! We’ll even take care of setup, and all your data transfer so everything will be there and ready to go exactly the way you want it. You can also upgrade to Windows 7. This may or may not be a good option.  Not all machines are compatible with this Operating system.

If you are unsure of whether or not your system can run Windows 7, here is a place on line that will help you:

But as always, we are also more than happy to access what you have and let you your options. And like I said, there is still some time, but these things do happen....RIP Windows XP, you were a pretty solid and laid back kinda guy.
