My husband likes to still use his XP but I've got him to switch to using Chrome instead of IE - I don't know if it makes that much of a difference in safety once support stops but maybe little less vulnerable....?

Don't be afraid of Win 8. I was totally lost at first. Now that I've been using it awhile, I love it and I don't have a touch screen. It's really not that bad at all and I'm surprised that I like it so much. But I really do. Now 8.1, I don't know because I read some horror stories of problems with upgrading HP computers and haven't jumped into that pool yet.
