(7 years ago)Windows 10 has been the most popular desktop operating system for some time, and recently it has been reportedly reaching 900 million installations. On the other hand, Windows 7 is still the biggest obstacle for Microsoft. Not only is Windows 7 the second most popular operating system [...]
Not only is Windows 7 the second most popular PC operating system, it is also approaching the end of the date of support, which forces Microsoft to persuade users to update in the latest version of Windows.
Users now have 99 days to install Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 (or switch to another platform).
Microsoft's recommended option, of course, is Windows 10. However, the migration of users from Windows 7 to Windows 10 is a much harder job because of the status that Windows 7 has.
Windows 7 is often described as the last operating system to provide a traditional Windows experience, without shops and other modern details. Consumers who want a simple Windows don't mind staying on Windows 7 even when the OS support stops.
Microsoft certainly does not like this, and the company along with security experts stress that those whose systems remain on Windows 7 will be vulnerable to defects and will be unable to install security updates.
