Effective April 8, 2014 Microsoft stopped delivering software updates, providing technical assistance and support for Windows XP (XP) and Internet Explorer 8 (IE8). As a result, XP and IE8 will still work on devices, but moving forward the continued use of XP and/or IE8 exposes your device to security risks, threats, vulnerabilities and viruses. Additionally, as software and hardware manufacturers continue to optimize and leverage more current versions of Windows Operating Systems (OS) and IE, users will begin to experience that more and more applications and devices simply don’t function properly or fail entirely.
