You decided to 'live dead' with Windows 7? Consider carefully again
According to the latest market share statistics, the number of people using Windows 7 remains stable every month, and this makes Microsoft really a headache.
As we all know, Windows 10 users around the world are experiencing many difficulties with the ongoing problems on the new Windows 10 updates, such as system freezes, denial. Installing a USB drive and even some bugs seriously affecting system performance in handling essential software. Therefore, it is not surprising that a large number of users are reluctant to switch from Windows 7 to Windows 10 even though Microsoft had to give advice and even strong measures.

According to the latest market share statistics, the number of people using Windows 7 remains stable every month. In it, what surprised many people and perhaps even Microsoft was that although Windows 10 surpassed the "elder" late last year to become the most used Windows operating system in the world. , accounting for 44.1% of the operating system market share in April, Windows 7 was 'usurped' but still holds up to 36.43% of its loyal users worldwide. Thus, it can be seen that the number of Windows 7 users has not decreased too much compared to the number of 36.9% in December last year - the time when this nearly 10-year-old operating system was overrun by the 'juniors'.
Microsoft obviously wants everyone to switch to the latest version of Windows, and there will probably be a lot of bad news for people who don't like Windows 10, or to say more narrowly than Windows 7 users. in the near future. The first unhappy news is that Windows 7 is likely to be officially "from the face" by Microsoft on January 14 next year. The second difficulty is that if you want to receive an "extended security support" package after the above period, be prepared to give Microsoft about $ 200 more per year. In other words, if you don't take a purse, you will absolutely not receive any additional security support options after that January 14, 2020 'fate'.

As mentioned, there are many good reasons why people don't want to switch to Windows 10, for example, the running hardware may not be strong enough, or the available memory is too little can be a problem, but Above all, the fact that Windows 10 often 'bugs up' after every major update and then has to update the patch is the top reason. All of these things cause many people to become less sympathetic to the operating system. But if you notice, Microsoft has also tried a lot in giving users the most stable updates in recent times.
In fact, Microsoft is no stranger to the phenomenon of users reluctant to switch to the new version of Windows. The current situation between Windows 7 and Windows 10 is exactly the same way that Windows XP users are determined to "live and die" with this outdated operating system for many years and refuse to upgrade to Windows 7, but ultimately Windows XP still has to comply with the 'rejection' rule. I suppose the same result will come to Windows 10, as well as the saying 'haters gonna hate' in English, or as Vietnamese people often have the phrase 'hate, hate hate the way back'. this scene will soon take place, no later than January 14, the year after Microsoft officially stopped providing free security support for Windows 7. There will be no additional security updates, unless businesses will spend an additional 200 / year / device, and as I mentioned, this paid program will only be available to corporate users, with no option for household-level users. both.

Perhaps many Windows 7 users still think that this operating system will be much safer than Windows 10, just like the thinking of Windows XP users before. Although the security world has not yet recorded a second WannaCry attack on operating systems is no longer supported, but that does not mean continuing to use Windows 7 after the operating system. being killed becomes a 'safe' bet. Just last month, a company that seemed "irrelevant" that Google had urged all Windows 7 users to upgrade to Windows 10 after their security team discovered two zero- vulnerabilities. extremely dangerous day, can be used in parallel to take over the operation of the server system. Another important detail is that after the WannaCry incident shocked the world two years ago, Microsoft also released additional security updates for XP users, even though the operating system was killed at the time. that - a very praiseworthy move of the company, but that is only a special case due to the serious nature of the incident, so Windows 7 users should not "lull themselves" with the thought Windows 7 is safe and will still be of interest to Microsoft after being killed.
I will not take the time to explore all security arguments to find for myself the right reasons to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, especially when the SentinelOne experts have detailed 32 reasons. due to security considerations to switch to using Windows 10 on Security Boulevard security blog (you can refer to that article here). However, from a personal perspective, I urge all household users and businesses who are keeping their thoughts on Windows 7 to read the above article and ponder the potential consequences of mounting The bundle with an operating system has stopped supporting that.

To end this stuffy story with some potential good news, I am pleased to inform you that at the moment, you will still be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free if you are a Windows 7 user. Although the initial Get Windows 10 offer actually expired in 2016. The reason why this good news is actually quite complicated and involves a tool like Microsoft media creation or USB drive (or DVD). In the short term, I strongly believe that this is good news for people who want to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10. For those who decide to stick with Windows 7 or Windows 10 'haters', please think Look carefully again.
