For now, at least, nothing really has to change in your office if you are not ready for the change. Microsoft has only cancelled its free support of Windows 7, meaning that you can still purchase support packages from Microsoft to gain access to support of the software. The good news is that security updates, as we have already discussed, will not cease any time soon.
Business professionals need to make sure their systems will continue to function until Windows 10 has been released. Windows 10 is on the horizon, but it won’t be released for some time. Most business users, in fact, have stayed away from Windows 8, with many companies delaying planned upgrades because of their dislike for Microsoft’s latest operating system. Windows 7 remains one of the most popular operating systems with most businesses shunning the new interface of Windows 8 altogether. This means that you don’t have to upgrade if you don’t want to and you can still be sure that your computer will remain safe, providing you keep running the latest updates from Microsoft when they are released. However, Microsoft will continue to release security updates for Windows 7 for quite some time. You can no longer call Microsoft and get help with the operating system at no charge, and there will not be much chance of any more service packs containing upgrades and fixes to the OS. However, users of the operating system have little to worry about, at least for now. In today’s world with headlines continuing to bring news of new hacks of both individuals and businesses, everyone is worried about security. In its first six months on the market, Windows 7 sold approximately 100 million copies and it is still leading the pack today with experts estimating it is currently running close to half of the PCs in the world. When it was initially released, it provided a more stable environment compared to Windows Vista along with a much more updated and more modern look when compared to the aging Windows XP. Windows 7 remains as one of the top operating systems in use across the world. Now, this service will not be available, although you can still get help as long as you are willing to pay for it. This free support allowed many users to get the help they needed with problems on Windows 7. Microsoft has announced that it has ended the free support for Windows 7 beginning in January.
