14 yesterday 2019 was a milestone day for Microsoft's popular Windows 7 operating system. After just one year, at 14 January of 2020, the company will stop supporting with operating system security updates.
This is of course expected by Microsoft and its developers, as well as the current ones users of Windows 7 should upgrade to the operating system that has been promoting the company: Windows 10.
On the other hand, there are many who refuse to upgrade their system to Microsoft's new Windows as a service model, as it seems that it doesn't work that well for all systems, especially those using older ones hardware.
Windows 7 was a huge success for Microsoft, as was Windows XP. Anyone familiar with the history of the company's operating systems will remember the failure of Vista, but also the refusal adoption of Windows 8.
But the popularity of Windows 7 was huge. A few days ago, according to Net Applications analytics, Windows 10 managed to outperform users running Windows 7 systems.
Even today, one year before end of support, Windows 7 is still installed at 42,8 percent of Windows-based computers running the world.
Naturally, Microsoft will begin to alert users of the popular OS to upgrade to Windows 10 as the support expiration date approaches.
Here we should mention that only the free υποστήριξη. Μετά από την 14η Ιανουαρίου του 2020, η Microsoft θα συνεχίσει παρέχει ενημερώσεις ασφαλείας για άλλα τρία χρόνια, στις Companies who pay a price, which will continue to increase every year.
