Overview
Many people are still running software which they may not realise is out of date and therefore unsupported by the original manufacturer.
This is because security patches and bug fixes to correct potential issues with the software we run, may not maintain backwards compatibility with older systems.
Examples of unsupported software packages are:
- Microsoft Windows 10 and older (including Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP)
- Microsoft Outlook 2019 and lower (Outlook 2016, 2013, 2010, and older)
- Apple macOS 13 (Ventura) and older
- All versions of Internet Explorer (including 11)
- Outlook Express
- Windows Live Mail
- Joomla 4.4.14 and lower
- Drupal 10.4 and lower
- WordPress lower than the current release
- PHP versions 7.3 (including 5.6, 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2) and lower
