Microsoft Ends Windows 7 Support in 2020, companies can buy security updates up-to 2023

Microsoft Ends Windows 7 Support in 2020, companies can buy security updates up-to 2023

If you're still on Windows 7, Microsoft will be ending support for it in 2020. Organizations, however, can purchase an extended contract for support.

Through the way of extra dough, all of the sudden support will continue to provide paid support for Windows 7 until January 2023, including security updates. This scheme is called Windows 7 Extended Security Updates (ESU) and will be per device, also that contract price will increase each year. The Extended Security Updates will be available for Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Enterprise customers with Volume Licensing. Also, Office 365 ProPlus will be supported on devices with an active Windows 7 ESU subscription till 2023. Customers that are in the ESU program will be able to continue to use the Office suite this way.

Though Windows 10 is closing in, Windows 7 actually still has a market share of nearly 40%.

M$ better prepare desktop version of Win10 without malware, bloatware and spyware by then to successfully replace Win7.

Well at least they are not just dropping support for it, and they have given given plenty of time and advance warning about these OS coming to the end of their support life.

I first regretted stepping up to Win10, but after a while and after some reading into stuff it isn't THIS difficult to configure.

Remember when Win7 came out and they "discovered" the "MP3 bug" during BETA? Specifically ALL MP3 files went corrupt after running Win7 BETA? Users were soooooo angry and told everyone Win7 is going to be sh!t, better stick to WinXP, bring SP4 for XP and it's going to be as good as 7 (and MUCH MUCH more ...), remember this?
It's going to be (or it already IS) exactly the same with the upgrade to Win10, but the bugs have changed.

Do you know what never changes?

War ... war never changes ...
