The day of January 14, 2020, has finally come when Windows 7 reaches the end of life (EOL). From now on, it will not receive any security updates.
Windows 7, released back in 2009, alleviated the criticism that Redmond faced over Windows Vista. The OS has also been a daily driver for the people who didn’t go for Windows 8/8.1. But 10 years later, the operating system still finds a home in over 400 million PCs across the globe.
Now, theoretically, all these users will have to look for alternatives for Windows 7 to move forward in their digital lives. Various federal bodies and intelligence services, including the UK’s GCHQ, have started to warn users that they shouldn’t use the older OS for carrying out sensitive work.
