Unsupported Operating Systems
PC Matic is designed to support a wide range of operating systems, but older versions like Windows XP and Vista are not be fully compatible with all features. Understanding how to manage devices running these unsupported systems is crucial.
Key Points on Unsupported Systems
Limited Support for Older Windows Versions:
- Windows XP and Vista are no longer actively supported by Microsoft, which limits the level of support PC Matic can offer.
- Real-time protection is available, but some functionalities are restricted.
Implications for Older Systems:
- Features like remote control, real-time updates, and detailed status reports may not be available.
- Security posture might be compromised due to lack of full functionality.
Best Practices
- Upgrade to supported operating systems for full functionality and security.
- Clearly communicate the limitations and risks of continuing to use unsupported operating systems.
- Explore additional security measures for clients unable to upgrade immediately.
