Microsoft is ending support for Windows 8.1 in January 2023 Windows 8.1 is one of the popular versions of the operating system from Microsoft Corp. It provides the perfect balance between the older and the signature Windows interface along with the tiled UI Microsoft interface. The operating system offered a very stable and consistent experience after the mess that was Windows 8. However, with the latest Windows 10 and Windows 11, the end of 8.1 is near. Microsoft has announced that it will be ending technical support for Windows 8.1 in January 2023, about 7 months from now. Similarly, the brand-ended support for Windows 8 back in January 2016. After January 10, 2023, Windows 8.1 users will no longer get any new security updates. So, this also signifies that the users would have to upgrade to the latest Windows version to continue using the operating system. One other important thing to note is that the system will be at work till January 10 2023. So the users can save or download all your important data before that. Because no updates for your 8.1 system, would make it more vulnerable to virus attacks via the web or local wired and wireless connections. Additionally, other office applications like Microsoft 365 will also drop support for PCs running on Windows 365 after January 10. This upcoming Oppo Flagship could feature 240W charging support To give head-on competition to the Apple devices, the Chinese smartphone maker Oppo has a different plan with an advanced level. Reportedly, Oppo is preparing its upcoming 240W charging technology for its upcoming smartphones. Some other specifications on the smartphone also include a 4500mAh battery and are expected to get full power in just 9 minutes. Reportedly, it doesn't mention the brand's name specifically, but it does talk about a Chinese OEM brand lining up for the said feature. However, since the company has already demoed the technology earlier this year, it is assumed that Oppo is the brand in question here. Oppo already has come up with its Find X series in the market with a raised-up envelope with its great performance. Fast charging has become a necessity for users these days as this eliminates the waiting time of sitting beside your phone until it gains power. This is also a very generic feature that you can also find in the mid-range segment, up to Rs 30,000.
