As you know, support for Windows 14 will end after January 2020, 7. This system was released on July 22, 2009, and is currently 10 years old. However, its popularity is still high. According to Netmarketshare, βsevenβ is used on 28% of PCs. And with Windows 7 support ending in less than three months, Microsoft offers to update. They come to a large number of users on PCs with a Windows 7 Professional license.
The message states that system support is about to expire. After its end, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or technical support for Windows 7. It also recommends creating backups to make the transition easier. However, this is only an informational notification that can be disabled. The corresponding checkbox can be placed at the bottom left.
At the moment, there are two options: switch to Windows 10 using a free update key, or accept the lack of patches. Considering that many are still sitting on the βsevenβ and do not plan to change it to something new, the result is obvious. However, the same thing happened with Windows XP at one time.
At the moment, it is known that after January 14, 2020, security updates will come to Windows 7 only as part of paid updates and only for corporate use.
