Windows 7 End of Life – Act Now!

As the extended support for Windows 7, Windows Server 2008/R2 and Exchange Server 2010 ends soon, you will need to be prepared in advance for Windows 7 End of Life support.

The End of Life date for Windows 7 support has now been confirmed as 14th January 2020, therefore no further updates or support will be given after that date (or sooner if the recent security update has not been installed). It is currently in an ‘extended support’ phase due to the release being 10 years old now.

After the End of Life date, this will STOP! If you continue to use Windows 7, you will be vulnerable to threats as security will not be updated and patched for any new viruses or security issues. Now is a good time to start planning for your upgrade to Windows 10.

Implications for Users:

If you’re still using Windows 7, it’s essential to understand the implications of its end of life. Without security updates, your computer becomes more susceptible to malware, viruses, and other cyber threats. It’s highly recommended that you upgrade to a supported OS like Windows 10 or Windows 11 to ensure your computer remains secure.

Implications for Businesses:

Businesses still running Windows 7 face even more significant risks. Data breaches and security vulnerabilities can lead to legal and financial consequences. It’s crucial for organizations to migrate to a supported operating system and ensure compliance with industry regulations.
