What Does It Mean That Microsoft Will No Longer Support Windows 7?
Contents

What does end of support mean for me? After January 14, 2020, PCs running Windows 7 no longer receive security updates. Therefore, it’s important that you upgrade to a modern operating system such as Windows 10, which can provide the latest security updates to help keep you and your data safer.

Can I still use Windows 7 after 2020?

Microsoft has been warning Windows 7 users for the past year-plus that after January 14, 2020, they’ll get no more security updates to the operating system for free. Even though users will be able to continue to run Windows 7 after that date, they’ll be more susceptible to potential security problems.

Why did they stop supporting Windows 7?

Microsoft is going to stop supporting Windows 7 from Tuesday so that it can focus on “newer technologies“. As a result, Windows 7 users will no longer receive the all-important security updates and patches that keep their machines safe.
