On January 14, 2020, Microsoft ended providing security updates or support for PCs running Windows 7.
That means the end of regular security updates.
Now is the time to upgrade to Windows 10
What does Windows 7 end of support mean?
- No technical support
- No software updates
- No security updates
Latest hardware may not be compatible and will become less and less compatible as time goes on.
Although you might not see an immediate change, software and hardware developers will no longer support it which means there will be more security holes and Microsoft wont patch or fix them, leaving you vulnerable for attacks.
We know that Cyber Attacks now happen to 1 in 4 companies with the right software in place, having unprotected software will only increase this chance.
