Yet Windows 7 is fast approaching end of life status when free security support will come to an end. In exactly the same way that Windows XP users steadfastly hung onto that obsolete operating system for years and refused to upgrade to Windows 7, I expect that the same will happen again as Windows 10 haters are 'gonna hate' as the saying goes. There are plenty of very good reasons why people are reluctant to make the move to Windows 10: the hardware Windows 7 is running on might not be powerful enough or available storage could be problematical for example, but overwhelmingly it is likely to boil down to a simple dislike of Windows 10. I guess you could add a whammy number three in that home users will have absolutely zero options for security support post January 14, 2020. Assuming, that is, you are not a home user. Whammy number two is that it will cost you as much as $200 per year to get 'extended security support' after that period. Whammy number one is that Windows 7 will reach its end-of-life status on January 14 next year. Microsoft obviously wants everyone to move to the latest generation of Windows and has a double-whammy of bad news for Windows 10 haters I'm afraid.
