Can I still use Windows Vista in 2019?

We’ll do our best to support these operating systems for another few weeks (until 15 April 2019). After the 15th, we’ll be discontinuing support for browsers on Windows XP and Windows Vista. So that you stay safe and get the most out of your computer (and Rex), it’s important you upgrade to a newer operating system.

Can I upgrade Vista to Windows 10 for free?

You cannot do an in-place upgrade from Vista to Windows 10, and therefore Microsoft did not offer Vista users a free upgrade. However, you can certainly buy an upgrade to Windows 10 and do a clean installation. … You can install Windows 10 first and then go to the online Windows Store to pay for it.)
