Since 2020, Microsoft has been keeping Windows 7 alive via paid security updates delivered through Windows 7 ESU SKUs. Unfortunately for Windows 7 users, all of that is ending very soon.
Paid security updates for Windows 7 via Extended Security Updates (ESUs) are coming to an end tomorrow (January 10, 2023), so anyone still running this system should upgrade to Windows 10 soon to remain safe. Free Windows 7 updates stopped being issued in 2020 but due to its popularity, Microsoft decided to offer Windows 7 ESUs for a price which extended security updates until now.
Customers that bought the extended support got updates delivered each month through Patch Tuesday when other versions of Windows were updated.
