How long will win7 be supported?

Microsoft doesn’t plan to stop fixing security problems in Windows 7 until extended support ends. That’s January 14, 2020–five years and a day from the end of mainstream support. If that doesn’t put you at ease, consider this: XP’s mainstream support ended in April, 2009.

Is it still safe to use Windows 7?

Windows 7 No Longer Safe to Use in 2020 – Here’s Why. January 2020 marks the end of extended support for Windows 7 from Microsoft. This means Windows 7 users have just one year left to upgrade to either Windows 8 or 10 (or an alternative), before their systems become a major security risk.

What happens if Windows 7 is not supported?

Support for Windows 7 is ending. After January 14, 2020, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or support for PCs running Windows 7. But you can keep the good times rolling by moving to Windows 10.

Can I still use Windows 7 after 2020?

Yes, you can continue using Windows 7 even after January 14, 2020. Windows 7 will start and run just like it’s doing today. But we advise you upgrade to Windows 10 before 2020 as Microsoft won’t provide technical support, software updates, security updates, and fixes after January 14, 2020.
