John is right. Covered wagons still work, but modern highways don't support them. At some point it makes sense to move forward, XP was great in its day, but the latest viruses going around that allows ransomware (built by the CIA of course like most viruses out there and blamed on other ) took down the british hospital systems and many other companies who refused to upgrade past XP. Now they are hopelessly locked out of their system until ransom is paid, apparently to the chinese who launched it against the world, but anyone can blame anyone, so most likely when you see the "russians" or "chinese" did it, it's just as likely it was from the US or UK or elsewhere. XP is now totally at risk for quick loss of everything, your files, any info/passwords you have ever typed in and loss of the hardware as well, anytime you're on line or using email you're at risk. Rather than to keep riding that covered wagon until a semi truck plows you over, you should invest in something made this century. You can find refurbished cpus that will leave your system in the dust or a 100 bucks or less all over the net if money is that tight. Think of the hours you use it, that's not much investment for something you spend so much time on. Anything else is just being stubborn, which is fine, but one day there will be blood. Yours. And you'll wish you had moved on.
