Microsoft Windows 7 support will end on January 14, 2020, and if you continue to use Windows 7 after support has ended, your PC will still work, but it will become more vulnerable to security risks and viruses because you will no longer receive software updates, including security updates, from Microsoft.
Microsoft strongly recommends that you move to a new PC running Windows 10 sometime before January 2020 to avoid a situation where you need service or support that is no longer available.
Microsoft made a commitment to provide 10 years of product support for Windows 7 when it was released on October 22, 2009.
When this 10-year period ends, Microsoft will discontinue Windows 7 support so that it can focus investment on supporting newer technologies and great new experiences.
The specific end of support day for Windows 7 will be January 14, 2020, and after that, technical assistance and software updates from Windows Update that help protect your PC will no longer be available for the product.
Microsoft explained it will begin to deliver a handful of reminder notifications through the end of 2019 with recommend actions to take ahead of Windows 7 end of support.
The US technology giants said Internet Explorer on a Windows 7 device will also be discontinued on January 14, 2020.
