New Guide To Enable TLS 1.1/1.2 on Windows Vista

Submitted by John T. Haller on Sat, 05/12/2018 - 12:41

I've put together a step by step guide to enabling TLS 1.1 and 1.2 connections on Windows Vista based on an older forum post I'd found so that users of this now-discontinued operating system can improve their security a bit.  I also added a .REG key so you can avoid manually editing the Windows registry while following the steps. You can find the full details on this how-to page:

Submitted by John T. Haller on Wed, 04/13/2016 - 19:34

As posted about last month, Google Chrome has today dropped support for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X releases 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8. New installations from the Chrome installer download will not work on machines with those operating systems. Existing users will see a message that they will no longer receive updates because their operating system is unsupportted.

Next Month's Google Chrome 50 drops support for Windows XP/Vista and Mac OS X 10.6-10.8

Now that Google Chrome 49 has been released as stable, it's crunch time for Chrome users on Windows XP and Vista as well as Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8. Google announced back in November 2015 that Chrome would stop supporting Windows versions earlier than 7 and Mac OS X versions earlier than 10.9 in April 2016. It appears that this end of support occurs with version 50.
