Doomsday arrives for Windows 7 tech support, leaving users to fend for themselves
PC users still running 2009’s Windows 7 operating system are despairing online and paying their respects as Microsoft finally ends its technical support for the software.

The 10-year-old operating system is still one of the most popular in use, making up an estimated 33 percent of the global share, second only to Windows 10. Roughly a quarter of all Windows users are still using the out-of-date OS according to StatCounter. As of Tuesday, though, there will be no more updates or patches to shore up defenses against ever-evolving cyber-attacks on Windows 7 users.

Re: Doomsday arrives for Windows 7 tech support, leaving users to fend for themselves
Been using Windows 7 for several years now
and though it's not as good as XP,
it will do.
Turned OFF Updates on DAY 1.

Have my own malware and antivirus protection
and need Microsoft's like a hole in the head.

Learned DECADES ago that they BREAK
more than they FIX.

Will use Windows 7 for as long as I can.
When it is crippled, as XP was,
I will go back to Linux.

Work computers shouldn't have networking processes enabled, anyway. It takes up 60% of your processes, and 6 gigs of RAM- while idle. Plus: no networking, no attacks.

We all have phones and tablets and Tv's for the internet now, anyway.
