I have a friend with an old 32-bit toshiba laptop with Windows XP Home Edition. She is going to wipe it clean and reinstall using the disk provided with the computer and then upgrade to Service Pack 3. She said that someone told her that Microsoft was no longer supporting Win XP SP 3 and that she wouldn't be able to update to that.<br />
<br />
Afaict, that's not true:<br />

<br />
Just want to confirm ... she should be able to get SP3, yes?<br />

Windows XP - SP3

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
