Why Do Schools Still Use Windows 7?

Do schools still use Windows 7?

Come January 14, 2020, Microsoft will no longer support the Windows 7 operating system. This means that security patches for software vulnerabilities will no longer be available for the system, meaning that schools still using Windows 7 will be open to attack from viruses and other malicious software.

What will happen when Windows 7 is no longer supported?

If you continue to use Windows 7 after support has ended, your PC will still work, but it will be more vulnerable to security risks and viruses. Your PC will continue to start and run, but will no longer receive software updates, including security updates, from Microsoft.
