At the moment, in the middle of December 2019 , there are still many millions of users who still use Windows 7. It is true that it is one of the most loved and admired versions of Windows of all, but that is not the problem.
The real problem at this precise moment is that we are at the set of this version of the operating system ceasing to receive official support from the firm. That means that Windows 7, in just a few days, will stop receiving all kinds of updates, including security, with what this entails. That means that hundreds of millions of users will be exposed to potential attacks.
It is true that certain precautionary measures can be taken, such as using an updated and functioning antivirus. And this must be added that the antivirus integrated in the system, Microsoft Security Essentials, will not be updated either . All this will be from next January, something Microsoft has informed us for a long time.
Despite all the warnings sent in this regard, there are many who have not yet heard, or have simply heeded them. Some of their own choice, or for lack of options, have decided to continue working with this old version of the operating system. That is why Microsoft has been notifying Windows 7 users about this end of support as of January 2020 .
Microsoft will continue to warn of the danger of Windows 7 from January
But of course, the firm has been fighting for months, or even years, for users to put aside Windows 7 and migrate to a more modern version of the system . As expected, the Redmond prefer that they opt for Windows 10 , version of the system they want to enhance. That is why in a few days they will begin to further expand their notification notices in Windows 7.
So what they will do is start using full-screen pop-ups to warn about the end of the life of Windows 7. This full-screen notification will warn that the Windows 7 PC is no longer compatible, something that will start appear on January 15 Specifically this is the day after the end of the official support already announced long ago. At the same time and as we told you, the firm will warn users that they have not updated their PCs, that they are more vulnerable to all types of viruses and malware .
Obviously the reason for all this is due to the lack of security and updates due to the lack of technical support. You also have to know that there will be three options to discard the message: remember it later, know more, or not remember it again. Of course, the warning as such full screen will remain until a Windows 7 user has interacted with it on a mandatory basis. Of course, this notice is also used to “encourage” users that Windows 10 is the best option at the time.
In fact, the firm wants that throughout the year 2020, the market penetration of this version of the most current operating system will finally reach 1,000 million devices.
