When Will Support for Windows 7 End?
Contents

January 14, 2020

How long will win7 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 I still use Windows 7 after 2020?

Yes, you can continue using Windows 7 even after January 14, 2020. Windows 7 will start and run just like it’s doing today. But we advise you upgrade to Windows 10 before 2020 as Microsoft won’t provide technical support, software updates, security updates, and fixes after January 14, 2020.
