It may seem a hassle for all to upgrade it, but no better option is available rather than switching to a better Operating System which goes well with their PCs.

Why is Windows 7 support ending this January?

Microsoft, in real, ended the life of mainstream Windows 7 on January 13, 2015. It means that new features will no more be added to the existing operating system and the warranty claims will also become invalid.

Moreover, Windows 7 support entered into life after the mainstream Windows 7 life ended. Support was added because of the high demand of Windows 7, and the support was added just to make sure that security issues and bugs are fixed. But after the end life of Windows 7, it will no more address to new breaches or exploits and the security will be at risk.

A few reasons why Microsoft Windows 7 support is ending are mentioned below:

• After a point of time, it becomes useless to keep the old software patched and invaded. It becomes useless from both financial and also in terms of time and efforts that are required to maintain it.
• Each year the price per device doubles. And Microsoft 7 is decade old now, and it should be switched either to Windows 10 or better software.

Looking beyond the problem

• Many may want to go for windows 8 in the hope of saving a bit of money, but although it is more recent than Windows 7, it will also be ending soon. So, people may go for Windows 10 or whatever they find perfect for their computer.
• If people still use Windows 7, they will not be getting any updates and neither the security check.
• The most important thing to be done before upgrading to better software is to back up all your important documents.

However, if you still continue to use Windows 7 support, you may have to suffer some problems as its life ends.
