Microsoft will end support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 on the 10th of January. For the OS, no updates are available, but it is also expected to provide technical support. Tens of millions of users face security challenges. According to an analyst estimate in 2021, Windows 7 is still used by around 100 million users worldwide.
