As a generation of classic Windows 7
Upcoming exit from the historical stage as planned
Today (10 January)
Windows 7 operating system
ESU (Paid Extended Support for Extended Support) will end
That is, for business users
Even if you want to pay for it again
Microsoft will also not issue security patches again
Windows 7 was released in October 2009, ended mainstream support in 2015, and extended support ended in 2020, and then Microsoft launched ESU, allowing paid subscriptions to security patches.
It is worth noting that according to the data statistics company Statcounter, as of November 2022, Windows 7 has a market share of 10.25% and Windows 8.1 has a market share of 2.53%.
At the same time, Windows 8.1 also entered EOL, and unlike Win 7, although Windows 8.1 is younger, Microsoft will not launch ESU services. In other words, the two operating systems will completely retire from the historical stage from tomorrow.
In addition, Windows 10 will also end support on January 14, 2025.
