Windows 7/XP dual boot safety after EOL for XP
Hi,
I administer a laptop for an organization that I belong to. The laptop was purchased with an XP Home/Windows 7 Ultimate dual boot system, which was needed at that time. I found directions for deleting the XP part of this installation, but am reluctant to tackle that task.
How much of a threat is the XP side of that laptop if the organization continues to use only the Windows 7 side after EOL? I'm hoping that we can leave it untouched and unused. The laptop is already 4-5 years old, and we don't want to stir things up as long as we can still use the Windows 7 side safely. Thanks. Judy
