End of Support for Windows 7

7/11/2014

 
You may have seen or heard that Microsoft is ending support for Windows 7 next year. While this is true, don’t panic! 

Microsoft has released the date for mainstream end of support for Windows 7. Before you get worried that your Windows 7 computer will end up like XP, relax. The end of “Mainstream Support” on January 13th, 2015 marks the beginning of "Extended Support.” What this means is that while there will be no more additional features or upgrades released for Windows 7, security patches & security related hot fixes will continue until January 14th, 2020.

Here is a chart showing the differences between “Mainstream” and “Extended” support.
