Update Windows 7 to Windows 10 is one of those key moments that each user has to perform if he wants to continue having a totally secure computer and taking advantage of the latest technology, but in certain cases the change is not at all easy.

If a user when changing computers can already have Windows 10 installed, for companies where they have fully connected ecosystems under a particular operating system, the change is not at all simple. After complaints from users and companies, Microsoft has decided to extend the security support of Windows 7 from 2020 to 2023, although it will not be free.

The security support for Windows 7 ends on January 14, 2020, and as of that date, having that operating system on your computer is a very great risk. However, those of Redmond have just taken out of the sleeve the program Windows 7 Extended Security Updates by means of which the user or the company will be able to continue receiving updates until January of 2023, but paying a fee.

And is that Windows 7, according to the latest data, is still present in 40% of computers around the world, just a little above Windows 10. That is why, and to avoid controversial issues such as recent security attacks on computers with Windows XP, the company gives the option to certain users and companies to take advantage of this program and receive security updates for three more years.

This extended security support for Windows 7 is only compatible with the Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Enterprise versions. It is also required to have Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed.

In addition, it is not a single payment or a specific payment, but according to the number of computers that we have with this operating system, and the date on which we are, a greater or lesser amount of money will be paid.
