I Have a Question

Hi all.
I have a question for people who know about computers. I am using a computer which has windows XP still on it. I am told XP is still safe to use but it's not update by microsoft anymore.
So my question is, can it still be used? or should I update it to to another version>?

THanks

You can still use it but indeed, security updates are not delivered anymore so it may become unsafe after a while. At least if it's connected to the internet which I assume it is. But if you keep your personal data backed up and keep an up to date virus scanner on there it should be okay. I would recommend to upgrade to Windows 7 actually, but I'm affraid that's no longer possible and you would be forced tot go to the terrible Windows 10 instead it you were to upgrade.
