The technology is constantly being updated, so suddenly everything becomes obsolete even if it is in perfect and optimal conditions. For that reason, Microsoft no longer wants users to continue using Windows 7.
The operating system is already eight years old and is even the most used, much more than its latest and improved version, Windows 10.
However, the change to Windows 10 will have to be mandatory for all users who want to keep up to date from the year 2020. According to Microsoft, Windows 7 is based on an obsolete security architecture, so that the system users could see Totally exposed and vulnerable to hazards.
In addition to Windows 7 will not have optimum security conditions, Microsoft believes that the widespread use of the obsolete operating system is the main obstacle to the growth of Windows 10.
Through a statement from Microsoft in Germany, the company mentioned that users will have the possibility to jump to a more modern operating system in these three years, which will still continue to provide security supports.
Markus Nitschke, the director of Windows in Microsoft Germany, said that the main ones at risk are corporate customers, because companies handle data and information of major importance that could be really at risk. “Businesses and users who are using Windows 7 with their sensitive data, in 3 years will face huge dangers.”
If users do not migrate to the latest operating system, they may face high maintenance and operating costs, especially in companies. In addition, Windows 7 will be more susceptible to malware than the latest versions of Windows and new processors from Intel, Qualcomm and AMD will no longer be compatible.
In addition to informing users about the consequences they could face, Microsoft hopes that Windows 10 will not repeat what happened with Windows 8, since many users preferred to stay with the stability of Windows 7.
Already with Windows XP we have seen that companies must face an early transition to avoid risks or higher costs, so it is best not to take risks and take enough time to jump from one operating system to another
