With Windows XP makestheir history overtheir ears. XP was based on NT platform offered stability and safety. Users no longer experience blue screens. Thesuccess was somassive that Microsoft had to officially stop supporting XP recently to make users finally replace them with theirnewest versionof Windows because they didn’t want their new products to have the same fatal fate as Windows ME and WindowsVista that was asetback at Microsoft reputation.

Nowadays Windows 7 is the most successful operating system that Microsoft ever made. Most users love and trustthem so much thatthey turn their back on Windows 8, so Microsoft offered an update from Windows 7 and 8 to Windows 10 for free tousers that alreadyown those operating systems to avoid giving Windows 10 the fate of 8.
