What Exactly Does “End of Life” Mean?
When referring to Windows 7 End of Life, we don’t mean that Windows 7 will suddenly stop working, however, security, bug fixes, patches and feature updates will no longer be available for devices running the operating system. Protection from security attacks will be essentially null and void, leaving your business (and potentially your customers) at risk.
When Windows XP End of Life occurred, hackers quickly released the “WannaCry” virus which ended up infecting over 300,000 computers across 150 different countries. Being the largest computer virus infection in the history of mankind.
Before hackers release a virus for Windows 7, make sure that your personal and business computers have been upgraded. It is going to be a bigger headache if you need to clean your device and upgrade it.
