Windows 10 is the main reason due to which a very bad news is coming for computer users all over the world, hundreds of millions of people around the globe being affected in the beginning of 2020. On January 14, 2020, support for Windows 7 is going to be stopped, so hundreds of millions of people who still use this version of the operating system will be forced to upgrade to Windows 10 immediately.
Windows 10 is still offered for free to certain types of customers, who can benefit from the free transition to the new version right now, but if they cannot do that, they will have to pay a lot for the upgrade. Those from Microsoft promised to provide 10 years of updates and support for Windows 7, and the 10 years were fulfilled in October, so the promise was fully fulfilled, and now they are forcing the world to switch to Windows 10.
Windows 10: TERRIBLE News for HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of People
Windows 10 will also be intensively promoted by those from Microsoft in the computers of people who are still running Windows 7, an alert message will be displayed to them to tell them that they have to upgrade. In that alert message, information will be displayed regarding the security problems that people with Windows 7 will have if they do not upgrade to Windows 10, and we are talking about an exposure to many risks for them.
"Microsoft committed to providing 10 years of product support for Windows 7 when it was released on October 22, 2009. When this 10-year period ends, Microsoft will end support for Windows 7 so that we can focus our investment on supporting the technologies more new and great new experiences. The end of specific support day for Windows 7 will be January 14, 2020. After that, technical support and software updates from Windows Update that help protect your computer will no longer be available for the product. Microsoft recommends that you move to Windows 10 sometime before January 2020 to avoid a situation where you need services or support that are no longer available."
Windows 10 is recommended for upgrade among users all over the world by those from Microsoft just before the month of January begins, but of course not everyone will do that, as expected. Windows 10 is not exactly cheap, and many people are very comfortable, so the number of those who will update to this version will not be very large, so it is expected that many people will be annoyed by the update alerts.
Windows 10 will still be in Microsoft's full attention after January 14, and in the meantime, it is likely that a last important update will be released for Windows 7 and users around the world.
