Earlier this year, the operating system became the first 10 operating system Microsoft's most widely used operating system. However, the difference between Windows 10 and 7 is very small and Windows 7 is running out of full existence.
This is why the company started this week warning its users through a notice that appeared in a pop-up window, inviting them to update to Windows 10 and bid farewell to Windows 7.
Microsoft says in the notification window that appears to users:
"After 10 years, Windows 7 support has ended.
14 January 2020 is the last day Microsoft offers security updates and technical support for Windows 7 PCs. We know that changes can be difficult, and that's why we're moving forward to help you back up your files and prepare for what's coming after that. "
While in January last year, Windows 7 gained a market share of 42.39% in December, after just three months, it dropped to 36.90%. This means that it remains the second most widely used desktop operating system in the world.
The main problem is that on January 14, 2020, millions and millions of computers will continue to operate with an unsupported operating system. This means that Microsoft will stop providing you with software updates, security updates, fixes, and technical support for problems, which will expose users to pinch and intrusion risks.
