When opening Google Chrome on Windows XP and Windows Vista, the following message

Anyone still desperately clinging to Windows XP only has another six months of updates for Chrome. Google has decided that the time has finally come to sever ties with the ancient operating system, and the same applies to Vista and OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.Just as Microsoft has stopped issuing updates for Windows XP, so too has Google set a cut-off point of April 2016 for Chrome support on older OSes. These versions of Windows and OS X have been dropped by Microsoft and Apple, so it makes sense that other companies will move on as well. But as well as not getting new versions of Chrome, there will also be no more security updates.Google says that using such old operating systems runs a far greater risk of virus and malware infection. The company is as keen as Microsoft and Apple that people move with the times and upgrade their operating system. Vista is the only one of the five operating systems that remains supported by the company behind it (until April 2017, believe it or not).Writing on the Chrome Blog, Google says:Today, we're announcing the end of Chrome's support for Windows XP, as well as Windows Vista, and Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8, since these platforms are no longer actively supported by Microsoft and Apple. Starting April 2016, Chrome will continue to function on these platforms but will no longer receive updates and security fixes.If you are still on one of these unsupported platforms, we encourage you to move to a newer operating system to ensure that you continue to receive the latest Chrome versions and features.Photo credit: 360b / Shutterstock

Some of us have legitimate reasons for running these older systems, particularly in controlled environments, due to legacy hardware or legacy software dependencies. After all, the US Army and US Navy both still use it. Step 1: Right-click on the Google Chrome icon on your desktop, and select "Properties" at the bottom of the list.

Relaunch Chrome, the message will no longer appear. UPDATE 4/14/2016: The final version of Google Chrome officially supported for Windows XP and Vista is Google Chrome 49, version 49.0.2623.112 m. Download the last version of Google Chrome for Windows XP (the full 44.4MB standalone offline installer) here: You will NOT receive further Google Chrome security updates.

This is a new path that did not exist with previous versions of Flash Player, which ONLY went to C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\49.0.2623.112\PepperFlash Failure to paste the files in BOTH folders may result in Chrome failing to display Flash content. 2) Then restart Google Chrome, and your Adobe Flash Player will show the installed version on the Adobe Flash test page: (example below) Since Google Chrome is no longer being updated, it is important to keep Flash Player up to date. I regularly update this file once a new version is released. In the example below, you can verify the version that you have installed:
