1/14/2020, Windows 7 support ends

3/26/2019

Windows 7 is now nearly ten years old and shows its age. Importantly, Windows 10 is planned to be the last numbered version of Windows, making Windows 10 more like a service. Microsoft is issuing updates to keep Windows 10 current and to eliminate the need to buy a future Windows XX.

In fact, the average new computer today is faster, lighter, more powerful, and costs less than the average computer of eight years ago. Staying with Windows 7 will not only leave you vulnerable to attacks, but will also make you unable to upgrade to newer software, such as Office 2019 that won't run on Windows 7.

Continuing with Windows 7 is hard to defend in our current climate of alarming and persistent cyber attacks.
