Windows 7 support is ending in January 2020, and Microsoft has already begun reminding users. Starting this April, Windows 7 users will begin seeing pop-up notifications warning them that official support for the operating system is coming to a close.
If you’re still using Windows 7, don’t panic. This isn’t the first time Microsoft has retired an operating system. A similar process was followed when support ended for Windows XP. However, it’s crucial that your business takes this seriously and begins planning for the future now.
What Does End of Support Mean?
Once Microsoft ends support for Windows 7, the operating system will no longer receive:
-
Security updates
-
Bug fixes
-
Technical support
This leaves your systems vulnerable to cyberattacks, data breaches, and compliance issues, especially if you operate in regulated industries like healthcare, finance, or legal services.
