On Jan. 14, 2020, Microsoft will no longer release security updates or patches for the Windows 7 operating system.
After the support ends, your organization’s computer, network, and data are vulnerable to attacks, security risks and viruses if you don’t upgrade your systems.
Microsoft does not support operating systems (OS) over 10 years old, and it moves these systems from “extended support” to “end of life.” Read Microsoft’s page about moving Windows 7 from “extended support” to “end of life” to understand the implications: Microsoft’s Windows 7 support ends on Jan. 14, 2020.
To ensure your business makes the right decisions, isn’t scrambling last minute, and makes a seamless migration to Windows 10, it’s best to start upgrading now rather than later.
