What If I Am Using an Older Version of Windows?
- Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 has already reached its End of Support. This means that Microsoft no longer provides security updates or technical support for these versions, and Trend Micro Security cannot be installed on them.
What To Do Next

- Check Compatibility: Before upgrading, make sure your hardware meets the requirements for the newer Windows version. Visit the Microsoft website for detailed instructions and compatibility checks.
- Backup Your Data: Before upgrading, back up your important files to avoid any data loss during the process.
