How Does It Impact You?
Windows 7 announced its End of Life on January 14, 2020. This means you won't get any regular security updates which exposes you to great security and business risks. Without security updates, you're vulnerable to cyber attacks which can potentially lead to data breaches, financial losses, and brand erosion.
Windows 7 Ends. How to Keep it Running Until You Upgrade?
Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows 7 back on January 13, 2015. After that, it entered the extended support phase, during which only necessary patches and fixes were released. However, this extended support period ended on January 14, 2020. If you’re still using Windows 7, it’s essential to consider upgrading to a more recent version of Windows, such as Windows 10 or Windows 11. These newer operating systems receive regular updates and security patches to keep your system safe and up-to-date.

Yes. You can continue to use Windows 7. The downside of using Windows 7 is two-fold. Firstly, your system will be increasingly prone to malicious attacks because it can't cope with the latest security challenges. More importantly, you will have compatibility issues with the newly installed software.
Although your system will continue to work with Windows 7 after 14 January 2020, it wouldn't receive important security patches. There are two options to circumvent the problem. You can either choose to subscribe to Windows 7 extended security updates (ESU) or move to an Azure-based cloud-hosted desktop operating on Windows 7.
Customers eligible for Windows 7 extended support will receive Multiple Activation Key (MAK) once they subscribe to the updates. These will activate the patches as and when they are available on the PCs operating Windows 7. Businesses can purchase ESUs through Volume Licensing or the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program.
