To death Windows XP in 2014, Microsoft had to put a lot of effort into it. By 1/2020, Microsoft will officially declare Windows 7 and to achieve this Microsoft will certainly face similar difficulties because so far the attraction of this 10-year-old Windows version has not declined. on the contrary, there is a strong increase.

According to the market share statistics of the January 2019 computer operating systems of NetMarketShare, Windows 10 version is at No. 1 with 40.3%. Although Windows 10 retained the top spot, the market share of this version fell from 40.9% to 40.3%, something Microsoft did not expect.

Windows 7 stands in second place in the ranking with 38.41%, up from the previous statistics (37.19%). Another thing Microsoft did not expect happened because it set a "retirement" date for this 10-year-old Windows version in 2020. Newly the first few months of 2019, Windows 7 users have increased making Microsoft 'green' and worrying about the situation from now until 2019.

It is not too difficult to guess the main cause of this phenomenon is Windows 10. The updates of this latest version of Windows have too many errors that make users uneasy, not confident when upgrading and using. To implement the Windows 7 death plan on January 1, 2020, Microsoft will have to put more effort into it.
