Hey guys I known lot of people here don’t like the vista operating system for various reason but I have a laptop which runs on windows vista which I bought from my friend used now that vista in that laptop was came with it mine is having Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and I heard that of Support for Windows Vista Service Pack 1 has stopped way back this year but I am not sure whether it is true or not because with no support will no longer obtain software updates from Windows Update. These comprise security updates that can help protect your PC from harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software, which can steal your personal information.
