Microsoft Ending Support for Windows 7
via (CERT) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency:
Original release date: March 19, 2019
All software products have a life-cycle. After January 14, 2020, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or support for PCs running the Windows 7 operating system. After this date, this product will no longer receive free:
• Technical support for any issues
• Software updates
• Security updates or fixes
Computers running the Windows 7 operating system will continue to work even after support ends. However, using unsupported software may increase the risks from viruses and other security threats.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) encourages users and administrators to upgrade to a currently supported operating system. For more information, see the Microsoft End of Support FAQ.
