Windows 7 is expected to hit End Of Life (EOL) on January 14, 2020, but the nine-year-old system still runs a large number of the world's machines, mostly in corporate environments.
In January 2015, Microsoft discontinued mainstream support for Windows 7, with extended support continuing until January 14, 2020. Companies that do not move on time will be saddled with high fees for further assistance from Microsoft.
This End of Life means no more bug-fixes, security patches or new functionality, making any user-personal or enterprise-significantly more susceptible to malware attacks. Just as it did with Windows XP, Microsoft will continue to offer support for those Windows 7 users still reluctant to upgrade to its Windows 10 OS, but it'll cost you.
There's absolutely nothing, though, preventing you from using Windows 7 even after its Life End. But you should know that using an outdated OS makes your computer vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
