Well get ready, Ed. Microsoft is skipping Windows 9 and going right to 10, and free support for Windows 7 ends today: http://www.cnet.com/products/microsoft-windows-10/ Big Grin

Microsoft's obligatory upgrade to pump up their bottom line. No other good reason for it.

Well to be fair the Windows 7 Extended support (which is the relevant one here) is still on for another five years:

Quote:But if you like Windows 7, you probably don't really need new service packs, and you certainly don't want a redesigned user interface. As long as Microsoft patches vulnerabilities that could become security risks, Windows 7 remains a safe operating system.

Microsoft doesn't plan to stop fixing security problems in Windows 7 until extended support ends. That's January 14, 2020--five years and a day from the end of mainstream support.

HERE's the old article my quote is from.
