Windows 7: Will show notifications about the upcoming support

PCs running Windows 7 will start showing from April 2019, about upcoming support, according to Microsoft.

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 of 2019 was chosen by Microsoft to give its customers enough time to migrate (at least the companies as they hope to Microsoft) to Windows 10. Customers have other options. Upgrade to Windows 8.1, after being supported for another three years, or stay on Windows 7 or migrate to Linux.

Microsoft has not yet revealed how these alerts will appear. The only information provided by Microsoft is that they will be informative only and that users can choose not to want 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 have a similar look and feel to the notifications Microsoft once displayed on users' systems. in 2014, when that version of Windows was about to reach the end of its support life.

The notification will state its end ς υποστήριξης για το λειτουργικό , a link to open a web page with additional information, and a “don't show this message again” option.

Users who just close the popup window using the checkout window will continue to receive alerts in the future. Making tick in the check box and clicking OK will be the only option that will prevent future notifications from appearing on the device.

Old Windows 7 users will surely remember Microsoft's 2015 campaign trying to get users to in Windows 10 debuts.

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.
