You should consider updating systems beyond XP, once a hack/vulnerability is exposed that is relevent to XP it will not get patched and that means you could be compromised, there is some nasty ransomware kicking around and those kind of programs will jump on unpatched vulnerabilities.

from a poser perspective you should upgrade, getting to a modern operating system with 64-bit support gives you a wealth of performance benefits to poser, stick 16-32gb into your machine and Poser flies giving you a much better experience.

Windows 7 and 8/8.1 are fine operating systems and offer a solid and practical benefit in performance and stability over XP and you shouldn't be hanging aorund on XP beyond April next year.

If you do, for god sake backup regularly to ensure you don't end up suffering a loss of data for XP nostalgia.
