The demise of Microsoft’s Windows 7 operating system (OS) is looming, and many organizations are preparing for it. We’ve previously discussed what its end of support means for your business, and now that you understand the consequences of staying on with Windows 7, it’s time for you to learn why you need to upgrade to a more modern and secure OS like Windows 10.

Windows 10 offers almost the same familiar functionality as its predecessor but comes with a plethora of new features that make it ideal for productivity.

By January 14, 2020, Microsoft will finally pull the plug on its 10-year-old Windows 7 operating system (OS). This is when the OS will reach its “end of life,” or the date by which it will no longer be supported by the software company. Microsoft’s plan was always to develop better operating systems, so that’s why it introduced Windows 10 in 2015.

According to recent data by Netmarketshare, Windows 7 still has a 36.47% market share, despite having less than a few months of its life left.
