Microsoft
Windows 7 support ended in January 2020 ... and Windows
10 will end October 2025 .... take
action now by switching to ... Linux... it looks and feels just
like windows but has no virus issues, is faster, safer and easy
to use.
What does
end of Windows mean ?
Windows 7 reached end
of support on January 14, 2020, (Windows 10
is set for October 2025) (Windows
XP in 2014 and Windows Vista
in 2017), your computer will still function but Microsoft
will no longer provide -
Technical support for
any issues
Software updates
Security updates or fixes
While you could continue
to use your PC running Windows 7, without continued software and
security updates, it will be at greater risk for viruses and malware.
Going forward, the best way for you to stay secure is on Linux.
Or to experience Windows 10 on a new PC. While it may be possible
to install Windows 10 on your older device, it is not recommended
and it is no longer Free !.
The problem is
that there will be few new applications and more of a concern, many
of the anti virus and anti spyware companies have indicated that
they will no longer support 7, XP or Vista. In turn this means the
likelihood of encountering problems will increase significantly,
Windows 7, XP and Vista have become very soft targets for the virus
and spyware makers.
It is interesting
to note that even today most of the questions I see on Windows machines
relate to virus and spyware issues.
You may find this
a little unsettling but a more interesting show is about to unfold.
Many large corporations and Government departments still commonly
use 7 or XP. They have no special exemption or protection. It is
hoped that they have a clear migration path in place or there will
be a lot of organizations very exposed and some quite interesting
headlines when it comes to the theft of money and information due
to weak technology systems. A windows machine will become an easy
target and in business a lucrative one for exploit as well.
Option
?
Buy a
new computer .... Buy Windows 10 ... buy Windows 11 ... hmm...
Linux
solution
You
could run a version of Linux called Linux Mint, for free and the
applications are free. They will also run on your existing computer.
They are very stable and will read your existing files, photos,
documents, etc. Many of the programs are very similar to what you
are used to so the learning curve is small. Click
