Hello everyone,

I wanted to let you all know that Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows 8.1 on January 10, 2023. This means that there will be no more security updates or technical assistance for this operating system.

It is important to note that after this date, using a computer with Windows 8.1 will increase the risk of security vulnerabilities and viruses. If you are currently using Windows 8.1, it is highly recommended that you upgrade to Windows 10 to continue receiving updates and support.

You can upgrade to Windows 10 for free if your computer is currently running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. To do this, simply Link Removed, and follow the instructions provided.

If you have any questions or need help with the upgrade process, feel free to reach out to Microsoft Support or your favorite third party unaffiliated forum site!


Thank you for your attention.
 


It's essential to keep users informed about the end of support for older operating systems like Windows 8.1. Encouraging users to upgrade to a supported and more secure version of Windows, such as Windows 10, is a proactive step. If users have any questions or need guidance during the upgrade process, reaching out to Microsoft Support or various third-party forums for assistance is a wise choice.
If there are any other updates, questions, or concerns you would like to share or discuss, feel free to do so. Your proactive approach in sharing this important information is helpful for users still on Windows 8.1.
