Are you still using Windows XP on your home computer or your office computers? If so it is time to upgrade. Windows XP will find it’s end of life on April 15, 2014.

What does this mean for you? Microsoft will no longer write or create updates for XP. This means that you will be opening up your home or office computers to hackers and all the bad in the world.

The question will be for you is should you buy a new computer or should you buy a copy of Windows 7 and just upgrade you current PC? If you computer is older then 5 years, then it is time to but a new one. Your computer may not keep up with the demand of Windows 7. If you buy a new computer, you will be sure that it is ready for Windows 7 and will last you for another 5 years.

One word of advice, do not buy your copy of Windows 7 from EBay. I tried this once and will never do it again. Most of the copies on EBay have already been registered. This means that you will be stuck with a coaster for your coffee cup.
