Microsoft plans to display a full screen alert to users of the Windows 7 operating system from January 15, 2020. H notice it will say that system support has ended.
The company added the file EOSnotify.exe, (in the path% windir% \ system32 \). This will be used to display the full screen alert on devices running Windows 7 when support expires.
Once Windows 7 support expires on January 14 January, your computer will continue to run but Microsoft will no longer provide the following:
- Technical support for any problems
- Software Updates
- Security updates or fixes
Although you will be able to continue using your Windows 7 PC without constant software and security updates, your PC will be more vulnerable to viruses and malware operation. Ο καλύτερος τρόπος να παραμείνετε ασφαλείς είναι με τα Windows 10. Και ο καλύτερος τρόπος να γνωρίσετε την εμπειρία των Windows 10 είναι σε έναν νέο υπολογιστή. Αν και είναι δυνατή η εγκατάσταση των Windows 10 στην παλιότερη device you, is not recommended.
The file runs through the EOSNotify and EOSNotify2 scheduled tasks, which administrators can find in the operating system's Microsoft > Winodws > Task Scheduler. The first task displays the notification as soon as the user logs in operating system, while the second daily at 12 p.m.
Microsoft's recommendation is to buy a new PC with Windows 10 and not mention anything about upgrading your existing machine.
As you can see in the image above, the popup contains three different links - options for users:

Don't show it again
Users can select "Don't show it again" to block future pop-ups on the system. However, if Microsoft persists below we will see how you can turn off the notification from the Windows Registry.
Use the two Windows-R keys to open RUN. Please type regedit and press Enter to start the Registry Editor.
If UAC appears, confirm
Follow the route:

The Dword DiscontinueEOS value is listed under EOSNotify, double click and set the value to 1.

That's it.
