The Windows 7 another round of their life on October 31, since after that date no newer computer will be able to have them preinstalled (OEM).
This week marks another important milestone for Window 7, which is still the number one Microsoft operating system after Redmond on 31 October 2014 finishes their sales to computer makers.
Do you know that new branded PCs now mostly come pre-installed with an operating system whose price It's significantly cheaper than buying it separately. One of them was Windows 7 since manufacturers will no longer be able to supply it for new computers and will have to switch to a newer operating system.
Is 31 October sales end for all Windows 7? No! Only for Windows 7 Home Basic, Window 7 Home Premium, and Windows 7 Ultimate.
Windows 7 Professional can continue to be available as OEM.
In fact, for Windows 7 Professional there is still no end date for the end of their retailing, but it is likely that Microsoft will announce it shortly as it hopes to bring to the forefront its modern operating systems such as Windows 8.1 and 10.
Don't panic, support will continue to be offered. Even if new PCs will no longer come to market with one of the aforementioned versions of Windows 7 after Friday, this decision does not affect the support provided for the number one operating system desktop with system of the world.
Basic support for Windows 7 with the Service Pack 1 will continue to be offered until January 13th, 2015, while extended support is guaranteed until January 14th, 2020.
Obviously, Microsoft expects more partners and companies to build and sell new computers to go to Windows 8.1. So far, however, statistics show that Windows 7 is still installed over 50% of computers in the world, while Windows XP is second with about 23%. Windows 8 and 8.1 are far behind with a combined share of 16%.
Computers with Windows 7 pre-installed will not completely disappear from store shelves on Friday, October 31st, this is for sure, as manufacturers are allowed to use them as OEMs until all their stocks are exhausted.
Windows 7 continues to be the #1 choice for them users σε όλο τον κόσμο, ειδικά αν δεν έχουν οθόνη αφής αλλά ένα ποντίκι και ένα πληκτρολογίο. Ενημερωτικά τα Windows 8 μπορούν να υποβαθμιστούν (downgrade) σε Windοws 7, αλλά πολλοί προτιμούν να αγοράζουν κατευθείαν τα 7 κυρίως χάρη στο οικείο περιβάλλον εργασίας το οποίο περιλαμβάνει το μενού Startand other possibilities.
