Microsoft will stop supporting many older versions of Internet Explorer on Windows Vista, 7, and 8.1 on January 12, 2016, in an attempt to get users to move to the most recent versions of their web browser.

For the very few users who are still running a PC with Windows Vista SP2 installed, Microsoft will only support IE 9 after January 12, 2016. The same goes for PCs that are still using Windows Server 2008 SP2. For Windows 7 and 8.1 users, Microsoft will only support IE 11 after that date, ditching support for IE 8, 9 and 10. The same goes for PCs that are using Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows Server 2012 R2. PCs that are using the older Windows Server 2012 will still get support for IE 10.
