Microsoft has finally stopped supporting the Windows 7 operating system, and at the same time Windows 10 Mobile (1709).
What
this means
Yesterday, Windows 7 users received the final update with bug fixes and security improvements. With this, Microsoft put an end to the existence of the “seven”.
By the way, Windows 7 was released on October 22, 2009.Even then, the company stated that OS support would last for 10 years. After the release of Windows 10, they tried in every possible way to lure users to the new version.
Now technical support for Windows 7 for any questions, software updates, as well as updating and patching the security system is ending.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Windows 7 computers will stop working. It’s just that now some functions may not work correctly, and the risk of catching a virus also increases.
But legal entities and companies will be able to switch to paid extended support and receive security updates until January 2023.
What to do
Microsoft advises users not to take risksand switch to Windows 10. If this is not possible due to hardware requirements, “just” fork out for a new computer. The company sees no other way out.
If your version of Windows is activated on legalTherefore, you can freely and legally switch from “seven” to “ten” without paying a penny for a license: Windows 10 can be activated with an old key.
