Windows 10 is the operating system present in 900 millions active devices worldwide, but on the other hand, Windows 7 continues to maintain a very respectable adoption rate.
Windows 7 is the second most used operating system on PCs, which makes Microsoft remind users of the OS to upgrade their systems.
Those who use Windows 7 only have 99 days to install Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. Of course there is also the option of switching platforms such as Linux or macOS.
Microsoft, of course, recommends Windows 10.
However, moving users from Windows 7 to Windows 10 can be a much, much more difficult decision than upgrading Windows XP devices to other supported versions of Windows at the beginning of 2014.
Windows 7 is often described as the latest operating system to deliver the traditional Windows experience without a Store and all other modern additions. Windows 8 was the first version to have a built-in App Store and a Metro UI.
Windows 10 greatly improves the experience, but they still have problems to the users who use them.
Users who want classic Windows should think very seriously about leaving Windows 7 because Microsoft says their systems could be vulnerable to 0day attacks due to a lack of updates.
So the security of a Windows 7 system after the end supports is a risk and each user of the operating system should take responsibility for it (especially the Companies).
