HOME WHO WE ARE WHAT WE DO CONTENT HUB GET IN TOUCH CLIENT PORTAL About the ‘Death of Windows 7’ and how it might affect your business You may be aware that Microsoft extended support for Windows 7, Server 2008 and 2008 R2 ceased on 14th January 2020. In addition, Windows Exchange Server 2010 and Office 2010 will reach end of support on October 13th 2020. 2020 is here, so now is the time to start thinking about upgrading. This could cause concern for businesses who haven’t yet thought about upgrading their systems. Considering that moving away from Windows XP took up to three whole years for large organisations, businesses are urged to think about upgrading as soon as possible. According to web metrics vendor Net Applications, Windows 7 still has a market share of 33.52%, meaning many organsiations will be at risk of cyber attacks when support ends. What does end of support mean? If you continue to use Windows 7 after support your PC will still work, but it may become more vulnerable to security risks and viruses as Microsoft will cease providing software and security updates. Nouveau Recommendations: Start planning to move to Windows 10 / Server 2016/2019 before January 2020 and Office 365 / Exchange 2019 by October 2020, to avoid a situation where you need service or support that is no longer available. The team here will be happy to provide you with advice and support to ensure your transition is as seamless as possible. For a full list of products reaching end of support click here.
