Microsoft is ending support for its older systems, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. The end has been scheduled for some time, and these releases are in a week with no future security updates.
Although it is still one of the most widely used operating systems, due to its age it can now be subject to security issues and failures. If you are a user then don’t wait any longer to update yourself.
The end of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1
will be next week, On January 10th, Microsoft will end support Ultimate for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. This is an important date for the company Came to warn users a while ago.
From that date on, all security updates are terminated and these systems lose all interest from Microsoft. They are exposed to problems and failures that arise that malicious agents can exploit.
Microsoft will end support
On the same day, another version of Edge is expected to arrive. Microsoft is planning to release version 109, which, oddly enough, will be too Else to be supported On Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. This must be another reason for the modernization of these systems to become a reality.
This last point is very important for users. Microsoft doesn't offer update mechanisms to be done for free, though that option has been put on the table in the past. Just updating Windows 10 to the latest version is guaranteed and free.
There will be no more updates
In the case of Windows 7, users have already lost support in 2020, with updates reserved only for those who paid for an additional two years of support. The rate of use of this system has not decreased as expected, as we have seen. In the case of Windows 8.1, these numbers are much lower.
Microsoft's only recommendation is to update Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 to a newer version. It also warns that if this is not possible, you should choose to update your computer. January 10th is fast approaching and users better prepare for what is going to change.
