Windows 7 Is Dead: Upgrade Now
As of today, if a major bug hits Windows, those on Windows 7 won't get the patch when Microsoft rolls it out. Upgrade now or pay the price.
Windows 7 users be advised: Microsoft is ending support for the OS today.
After Jan. 14, 2020, your PC will no longer receive security updates, and Microsoft's customer service will stop providing technical support. Translation: if a major bug hits Windows, those on Windows 7 won't get the patch when Redmond rolls it out.

As of December 2019, Windows 10 is the most popular operating system globally with 54.6 percent market share. But Windows 7 is still at 26.64 percent, according to Net Applications.
To continue receiving support, businesses will have to pay for it. Microsoft will extend Windows 7 security updates through January 2023, but only to enterprise users who buy in volume. The support will be "sold on a per-device basis and the price will increase each year" for Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Enterprise-installed systems, Microsoft said.
So now is a good time to upgrade to Windows 10; here's our full guide to making the switch.
Once you do upgrade, make sure you take advantage of all Windows 10 has to offer. Check out:

Windows 7 was nice, and thank god they just switched my work computer over to 10 like two weeks ago :TI:

I prefer 10 as an updated version of 7, but Windows 8 fuckin' sucked so 7 will always be remembered better than that at least.

You're talking to a guy who will play all 4 games simultaneously, while listening to Bustin Out music and trying to get his groove on with the Celebs in Urbz.

This has just reminded me that The Sims 1 is 20 years old. Fucking hell, I'm old :lmao I remember the game cost $99 when it first came out in NZ, and I bugged my Dad for ages to buy it for me until he finally caved and bought it haha. He said "for that price, you better play it all the time", and I lived up to that. I think the only other game series to suck that much of my time up is Civilization lol.
