Windows 7 is one of the most successful operating systems created by Microsoft. But with all good things, it must come to an end. Microsoft users around the globe are mourning such a great loss and are reluctant to hop onto Windows 10, which is the successor of Windows 7. But it has to happen, and here’s what the end of Windows 7 means for you.
Using Windows 7 Will Put You at Risk
In January 2020, Windows 7 will breathe its last breath and many users are unaware of the importance of updates being sent by Microsoft. These updates are security measures from Microsoft that include security checks, bug fixes, and all support. After these updates are made, you cannot go back to Microsoft with Windows 7 and demand help, as the system will no longer be held accountable. Without any security measures, it will become easier for someone to hack your system.
Update Your System to Windows 10
Due to limited security, it is better to shift towards Windows 10 as soon as possible. This goes for both individuals and organizations. There is no other better way to prevent your data from hackers. It doesn’t matter which computer you have, as long as it’s running an updated operating system.
Should You Risk It?
After reading this, you still might be on the fence about completely ditching Windows 7. Though there is no one stopping you from using an outdated, unsecure operating system; you could put yourself or your own business at risk. If your business is looking to safely and securely upgrade, it might be best to contact an IT professional. You’ll need to make sure any firewall and antivirus programs are running smoothly, to protect your computer from malware, and a professional has more knowledge and experience to get the job done right the first time.
