Microsoft will be officially ending support for the Windows Vista operating system on April 11, 2017. After this date Windows updates will cease and Vista will no longer receive security patches and bugfixes. Microsoft recommends moving to a newer version of Windows to continue to stay secure and up to date.
While in some cases it may be possible to install a current version of Windows on hardware running Windows Vista, it is usually best to upgrade to more up to date hardware along with the operating system, in other words, purchase a new computer.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns about transitioning from Vista to a new version of Windows.
