-=== Windows 8 ===

-As Windows 8 is NOT a Unix based OS, it lacks a native terminal emulator that is capable of providing a Unix shell. This will require a work around. For our requirements, the most common solution is the installation of an open source terminal emulator called PuTTY that supports the communication protocols discussed below. If you are using a Windows machine and you have not already downloaded PuTTY you should do so now. See [#PuTTY PuTTY] below.

+As of January 10, 2023, Windows 8.1 has reached the end of support and will no longer receive security updates, non-security updates, bug fixes, technical support, or online technical content updates. '''Thus your use of Windows 8 represents a security risk.''' See [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/announcements/windows-8-1-end-support-january-2023 Windows 8 End of support].

+=== Windows 7 (Do Not Use) ===
 
 As of January 14, 2020, if you're still using Windows 7, this represents a critical security threat to the university network and user data, and your network access will be restricted to internet traffic only. '''Thus you'll be prevented from logging in to Cypress.''' For alternatives, see [https://hr.tulane.edu/content/reminder-windows-7-end-life Reminder: Windows 7 End of Life].
