Customers with Windows 7 installed on their PC, please take note.

Support for Microsoft Windows 7 is coming to an end. Microsoft has announced that Windows will reach end of support on January 14, 2020. This is only a couple months away. Some computers originally built with Windows 7 may be running technology nearing 10 years old. Let’s look at a couple of common questions.

So what does this mean?
Yes, your computer will still work and Windows still function. However, Microsoft will no longer provide tech support for Windows 7 issues, software updates or security updates and fixes. Thus, there may be a security risk because of no longer receiving software or security updates.

Can I still get the free upgrade offer to Windows 10?
The promotional free upgrade offer was when Windows 10 first released, & expired in July of 2016. That was over 3 years ago.

Can I just purchase Windows 10?
You could purchase a full version of Windows 10 if you meet the system requirements, but you would still have older hardware. Yet Microsoft suggests that if you computer is over 3 years old to consider upgrading to a new device instead. Think of it this way too, whatever dollars you would have put into purchasing the full version of Windows could be put towards the price of a new compute with newer hardware, which will most likely already have Windows with it.

Ok, I’ve decided to get a new computer. What if I want some of the data from the old one to the new one?
We can help with that. Over the years, we have helped numerous customers’ transition from an old computer to a new one. Give us a call or come talk with us at 301 East 1st St, Suite #7. We’ll try to help make this shift a little smoother.
