Windows 7 – End of Extended Support

It's time to plan your upgrade

What is happening?

On January the 14^th 2020 Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 reach their End of Extended Support milestone.

With the end of support date for Windows 7 just around the corner, you know you need to do something but what’s going to be the quickest, cheapest most painless way of getting where you need to be?

Once extended support ends, you will no longer receive security, reliability or feature updates leading to:

– Unpatched vulnerabilities
– Increase the risk of compromise
– Risk of performance degradation and instability
– Failure to comply with industry standard and regulations (PCI, PSN, HIPAA, etc)

41% of all Windows desktop OS web traffic still originates from Windows 7 desktops
