Windows 7 No Longer Supported

Microsoft have announced end of support for a number of mainstream operating systems for user devices and servers.On Tuesday, 14th January 2020, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, or bug fixes for these operating systems. 

New computer viruses and other malware are being developed continuously and, without the security updates to fight them off, your data, your system and your extended network will be vulnerable.

Please see the table below for end of support dates:

When these products reach end of support, Microsoft will no longer provide:
– Technical support for problems that may occur
– Bug fixes for issues that are discovered and that may impact stability and usability of the server
– Security fixes for vulnerabilities that are discovered and that may make the server vulnerable to security breaches
– Time zone updates
