"This computer will soon stop receiving Google Chrome updates because Windows XP and Windows VIsta will not longer be supported.

My friend PC is running  VIsta and she is receiving this message "This computer will soon stop receiving Google Chrome updates because Windows XP and Windows VIsta will not longer be supported"

What options does she has ?

Can she upgrade Chrome to the latest version ? but probably as the message says soon Chrome won't be receiving any updates because the OS won't be supported anymore ?

Does anyone know when Vista will stop giving updates to Chrome ? the alternative is to upgrade to windows 7 correct ?

XP is dead and Vista has 1% market share. Best thing is to use IE for Vista (I think it supports IE9. Also it is time to move on to a newer computer or else stick with the version of Chrome they have.

Follow up:  Yes, My Vista virtual machine has IE 9 and continues to receive Windows Updates.

IE9 cannot render HTML5 and Wix, so similar sites to those such as paramountexperience would currently display fine on Chrome, but wrong on IE9. These are some of the issues that users can encounters with IE9

Of course this is not the majority of websites, and chrome even when no longer supported will still display those ok even on older versions.

However as John stipulated, for now and the near future most sites would be fine still, so IE9 is still an option yes.

M$ is ending support for Vista in April 2017. So that will be when google chrome support will end too for that OS. You will have to get a new OS or PC by then.
