As of January 14 2020 Windows 7 will no longer be supported by Microsoft. This means it will become vulnerable to viruses, malicious software and more. Microsoft will no longer update.

Windows 8.1 is the best operating system Microsoft ever built, but that ends in 2023. It’s my recommendation that everyone should now moved to Windows 10.

Microsoft made a commitment to provide 10 years of product support for Windows 7 when it was released on October 22, 2009. When this 10-year period ends, Microsoft will discontinue Windows 7 support so that we can focus our investment on supporting newer technologies and great new experiences. The specific end of support day for Windows 7 will be January 14, 2020. After that, technical assistance and software updates from Windows Update that help protect your PC will no longer be available for the product. Microsoft strongly recommends that you move to Windows 10 sometime before January 2020 to avoid a situation where you need service or support that is no longer available.

If you’re computer is running Windows 7, it’s time to upgrade to Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. If you’re in the Milwaukee area, call us and we can fix you up for a low price.
