I still use Windows XP - is there any risk to my sites passwords etc? And, should I change to latest version of Windows for best security? i

Yes, there is a possibility you may be vulnerable with Windows XP.
I recommend you upgrade at least to Windows 7 if you are not ready for Windows 10. Before the update make sure your current computer is capable to run at least windows 7.

Definitely NOT Safe. Last time I was at a hospital, in the one of the rooms they were running Windows XP versions! Windows XP at a hospital.. Seriously! Why would they want to run Windows XP at a hospital where there are so many vulnerabilities and a hacker could hack the system, and find out it's a hospital and change a lot of data which then could result in death..

I love Windows XP, but unfortunately it's no longer supported, and it's vulnerable to too many viruses and intrusions. Long live Windows XP, it was nice while it still lasted.

Our old desktop is running on Windows XP ever since we bought it and I don’t see anything wrong with that old operating system. In fact, we feel very comfortable with it. And I don’t think it is unsafe using an old operating system although there are facilities that you cannot use anymore like the Chrome browser updates does not apply and even the cloud storage cannot be availed of. But for sure, it is safe to use Windows XP.
