Computers running Windows 7 will begin to display notifications of upcoming support, as reported by 2019 in April.
Support for Windows 7 versions expires on January 14, 2020. Business customers can extend their support for up to three years by paying Microsoft a fee per user, which will double each year.
April 2019 was chosen by Microsoft to give its customers enough time to migrate (at least the Companies as Microsoft hopes) in Windows 10. Customers have other options. Upgrade to Windows 8.1, since it will still be supported for another three years, or stay with Windows 7 or migrate to Linux.
Microsoft has not yet revealed how these notifications will appear. The only ones information that Microsoft provides is that these will be informational only and that users can choose not to see further notifications.
This is reported by Microsoft"These notifications are for informational purposes only and if you prefer not to receive them again, you may select 'Do not notify me again' and we will not send you any further reminders."
Chances are, these notifications will be similar appearance and feel with the notifications that Microsoft used to display on Windows XP systems in 2014 when that version of Windows was about to reach the end of its support life.
Η notice θα αναφέρει το τέλος της ημερομηνίας υποστήριξης για το λειτουργικό σύστημα, έναν σύνδεσμο για το άνοιγμα μιας by clicking heres with additional information and a "don't show this message again" option.
Οι χρήστες που απλώς κλείνουν το αναδυόμενο παράθυρο χρησιμοποιώντας το παράθυρο κλεισίματος ελέγχου θα συνεχίσουν να λαμβάνουν ειδοποιήσεις στο μέλλον. Κάνοντας τικ στο πλαίσιο ελέγχου και μετά κλικ στο ok, θα είναι η μόνη επιλογή που θα εμποδίζει την appearance μελλοντικών ειδοποιήσεων στη συσκευή.
Old Windows 7 users will surely remember Microsoft's 2015 campaign trying to get users to free upgrade to Windows 10 nascent.
New alerts will not have the same features for this campaign as they will not include operating system upgrade options in Windows 10. Although these Windows 7 keys work in Windows 10 and there is generally a "tacit" acceptance from Microsoft that the transfer is still free without any problems.
It remains to be seen whether Microsoft will revive the then "Get Windows 10" slogan.
