How to support an elderly friend on Vista in 2023?
I've recently been blessed with the task of helping someone elderly with their computer. Sadly, they are quite some distance away, and using Windows Vista still. Is there any way any remote support app provider still maintains a working program for Vista?
They have it connected to the internet and I genuinely couldn't believe it.

VNC will work, but yes, it is time for a new machine if the hardware is as old as the operating system.
Vista has Remote Assistance built-in, but I don't know what the compatibility is like with newer versions of Windows.

Unfortunately that is very dangerous for them. They should probably buy a new computer, or use one at a public library.
