Question: How Old Is Windows 7?
Contents

It’s a mind game, and let’s face it Windows 7 is really old.

It will be six years old in October, and that’s a long time in this modern technology era.

Microsoft will take any opportunity to remind everyone that Windows 7 is really old as Windows 10 approaches.

How many years will windows 7 be supported?

Microsoft doesn’t plan to stop fixing security problems in Windows 7 until extended support ends. That’s January 14, 2020–five years and a day from the end of mainstream support. If that doesn’t put you at ease, consider this: XP’s mainstream support ended in April, 2009.

Can you still use Windows 7 in 2018?

However, StatCounter said Windows 10 had overtaken Windows 7’s market share back in February 2018. Free extended support for Windows 7 will end in January 2020, less than 18 months away. If they want official support through to 2023, they will have to pay a considerable price.
