Windows 10 - This news proves why every Microsoft user should upgrade NOW

WINDOWS users should update to the latest version of the popular software as latest research shows that older software is more vulnerable.

Earlier this month the world was hit by a deadly new cyber virus which infected millions of PCs and even brought the NHS to its knees.

Wanna Cry took over computers with malicious software which blocked access to systems and files until a ransom was paid.

Victims were warned that their files would be deleted within days if they did not pay up using Bitcoin, the world’s biggest virtual currency.

It was first thought that users with outdated versions of Windows XP were the worst for getting infected but new data has come to light which could disprove this.

Kaspersky has just released some new data which suggests that Windows 7 was hit hardest by the attack.

Windows 7 runs on around 45 per cent of all machines and is still hugely popular.

Microsoft had released a patch for Windows 7 back in March but it seems many users hadn’t updated to the latest version.

The US technology giant also says that its latest Windows 10 software is the only OS completely safe from WannaCry.

This is backed up by Kasperskywhose chart shows a tiny amount of infections on Windows 10 - hese are due to manual infections carried out for testing.

So it seems if Microsoft users want the ultimate protection from viruses they are best installing Windows 10.

Microsoft is now warning every user to update to the latest version of the popular software.

A statement from Microsoft president and chief legal officer Brad Smith said: "As cybercriminals become more sophisticated, there is simply no way for customers to protect themselves against threats unless they update their systems." Anyone can easily get Windows Support Number online.
