Microsoft retires its 12-year-old Windows XP operating system on Tuesday. Even so, there are still millions of XP computers out there. Here's what to do if you own one of them:
What happens Tuesday?
- Microsoft Corp. will issue its final update to fix known security flaws with XP.
- After that, XP machines will still work, and you can install past security updates. You won't get new ones to address any new security flaws.
- Your machine will face greater security risks. Because hackers know Microsoft will no longer issue updates, they have extra incentive to look for security flaws.
