I have a Dell Computer. Need to upgrade Safari. Can I?

The last version of Safari for Windows was released in May 2012. If you could find a copy to download it would be a bad idea due to security issues as it has not been updated.

You need to switch to a more current browser like Firefox.

Use either Firefoxor Chrome for Windows instead.

Safari on your computer has nothing to do with iPhones and iPads.

and Safari for Windows was discontinued in 2012.

You may get the message that you need to upgrade Safari from more and more websites. You are getting that message because the version you have is at least 3 years old and is unsafe to use because it is not up to date for security issues.

So hear is the situation:

1 - you need to update Safari because it is old

2 - you cannot update Safari because there is no newer version

The only solution is to switch to the current version of a different browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Firefox).

I would uninstall it, but doesn't really matter whether you uninstall it or not except for space on your computer, as long as you never use it. I would not use it.

As an alternative to IE, you can use use either Firefox or Chrome instead for a browser but for syncing your iPhone to your PC, that requires iTunes > iTunes - Download iTunes Now - Apple
