Microsoft begins notifying users about ending Windows 7 support
Microsoft started a campaign in which they are actively sending notifications to Windows 7 users and warns them that support for this operating system will end January 14, 2020. Those who still work with the old version are advised to upgrade to Windows 10.
Multiple users have been reporting that they are getting a notification, that started roughly a week or so ago. The notification popup features a ‘Learn more’ button on the right. If you click on the button, it opens Microsoft’s webpage in the browser to detail the end of support deadline and options available to the customers. There is also a box ‘Do not remind me again’, which if clicked, is supposed to stop displaying this notification again.
You could continue to use Windows 7 as it'll obviously not halt working, however, the operating system will stop receiving software and security updates as of 2020 and this will put the system at a greater risk for viruses and malware. Windows 7 was released to the public in 2009.

It makes you wonder who the product is in this situation.

By any chance, have you ever used your Windows 7 product key to upgrade to Windows 10 during the first year launch of it, when it was for free?
Once activated, the product key remains eligible for future Windows 10 versions past that free time period.

It's pretty much the circle of Battle Royale, that's slowing closing in on Windows 7 users.
Looking forward to comments once they're forced to switch.

That's what people said about Windows XP. Nowadays, people only have an XP setup for old games and archaic hardware/tools. Windows 7 will have the same fate. It won't be obsoleted as quickly as XP, but it also didn't have as many diehard fans.

Just don't choke on your popcorn when your Win10 suddenly decides to reboot for "urgent" update XD
Win7 is superior OS in any way than Win10. I watch your '
' from the higher ground. Your threatening and increased blood pressure is signs of your weakness and poor OS that you are behind.
Admit HUGE victory of WIN7 and begone filthy Win10 user.
Win7 > Win10 forever. No wonder you don't have likes, cause your Win10 holds your back! We Win7 users have many likes and we LOVE winning. Unlike you Filthy win10 users that everybody hate.
Go feed M$ on M$ store. It wants your money NOW!

Someone is slighty triggered.
You're right.
Windows 7 is the best OS after all, especially after 2020 when they continue to release security fixes.
A-ha!
So you ARE going to use Windows 10 after all, while it's still in Early Access in 2025.
Or you could install Linux, i heard 10 years ago it was gonna be a Windows killer.

No, not me. I'm using Windows 10 after all for 3 years without any major i
