A company spokesperson said,

“Microsoft provided support for Windows XP for the past 12 years. But the time came for us, along with our hardware and software partners, to invest our resources toward supporting more recent technologies so that we can continue to deliver great new experiences.”

In addition, Microsoft warned of the security risk associated with continuing to use Windows XP,

“If you continue to use Windows XP now that support has ended, your computer will still work but it might become more vulnerable to security risks and viruses.”
