Will my computer continue to work after Logos discontinues XP support?

Ronald Quick

According to the announcement Logos will continue to work with Vista SP2 or newer.  I have Vista, but I don't know if it is SP2 or higher?

I bought my computer from Dell in 2008.  Here is my info.

Thanks.

Hi Ronald,

It looks like you don't have SR2. This is what my Vista shows

Thanks. 

I guess I'd better upgrade.

Ronald, your Windows should automatically update to service pack 2 if you have Windows Update turned on. You can turn it on or manually check for updates in Control Panel. This update will not cost you anything.

I use Windows 7 but believe it is very close to being the same as Vista.

#1: In your control Panel open System and Security

#2: Click on Windows Update

#3: Click check for updates to see if any show up.

This process might take a long time depending on how many updates are required to get you to Service Pack 2.

Let's clarify that a bit.

Logos will continue to work with XP as it is right now. Because of the changes MS is making in .NET Logos updates will only apply to Vista SP2 or newer.

Even more clarification: Future new versions of Logos will not work on older versions of Windows such as XP; they will require at least Vista SP2. But Logos has said they would still release bugfix patches (if necessary) to the latest existing version 4.6 which will run on whatever version of Windows people have already. However, for Logos 5 (or any future 4.x if there are going to be others before Logos 5) you will need to upgrade to a newer version of Windows to upgrade to that newer version of Logos.
