Here’s some news for all Microsoft Windows 7 users! As of tomorrow, January 14, Microsoft will officially end support for its 10-year-old Windows 7 operating system. Microsoft’s Windows 7 OS will not be available for use as per a recent official blog post, beginning January 14, 2020. After that, Microsoft will begin showing a full-screen alert for users who will still be using Windows 7 as of January 15, 2020. The message would tell users about the dangers of using Windows 7 and will stay on display if users do not do anything about it. It will keep popping up on the user’s computer until they update to Windows 10.
The full-screen notification will appear on the following models of the Windows 7 Service Pack 1:-
• Starter
• Home Basic
• Home Premium
• Professional
Another thing worth noting is that if users have downloaded the Windows 7 Professional Extended Security Update (ESU), they will not show the notification. The Windows 7 Extended Security Update will be available through January 2023 to enterprise customers. It will be priced on a per-device basis and their price will rise each year. Furthermore. Domain-joined machines in KIOSK mode will not get the alarm. It is further suggested that people who use Windows 7 will most likely face security problems if they continue to use the operating system as hackers can easily exploit the technical problems of the OS. Therefore, if you are still using Windows 7 it is best to upgrade to it. Users will update to Windows 10 by purchasing the full version, as a reminder. While some users claim to get a free version, Microsoft has made it clear that there is no free version available.
