Windows 7 is no longer supported
Upgrade your operating system
On 14 January Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7, which means people using it will no longer receive security updates. For your protection, we recommend upgrading to a newer operating system and not using Windows 7 for anything you do online in the meantime.
Why upgrade?
Technical support
If you have any technical problems with your newer operating system, you’ll be able to get help from the provider. Microsoft will no longer be providing technical support for Windows 7.
A better online experience
Upgrading your operating systems means you’ll benefit from the latest online features and performance, and have more flexibility through downloadable extensions.
