Microsoft Stops Supporting Windows 7, Leaving Millions of Users at Risk of Cyberattacks
After 10 years, support for Windows 7 will stop today, January 14, 2020.
According to Microsoft, when Windows 7 reaches end of support on January 14, 2020, Microsoft will no longer provide technical support for any issues, software updates and security updates or fixes. The company acknowledged that without continued software and security updates, computers will be at greater risk for viruses and malware. "Going forward, the best way for you to stay secure is on Windows 10. And the best way to experience Windows 10 is on a new PC. While it is possible to install Windows 10 on your older device, it is not recommended," says Microsoft.
