On January 14th, 2020, Microsoft will end support for Windows 7. Windows 7 was first available in the second half of 2009, so it's had a good run. If you're still a computer with Windows 7, it's time to start developing a plan to either migrate to a new system or upgrade your current system to Windows 10. If you have a newer system that's able to run Windows 10, it's still possible to upgrade for free. Take a look at this article for more info: https://www.zdnet.com/article/heres-how-you-can-still-get-a-free-windows-10-upgrade/. I did this for a client today, so I can vouch that it does work. If you need help either upgrading your Windows 7 system to Windows 10 or replacing it, let me know.

Here's how you can still get a free Windows 10 upgrade | ZDNet Microsoft's much-hyped free upgrade offer for Windows 10 ended in 2016, right? Not exactly. The GWX tool may be gone, but all the other upgrade tools still work. The end result is an apparently valid digital license, and there's no evidence that the free upgrades will end any time soon.
