Windows 7 is nearing the end of its life cycle and Microsoft remembers it with a message that does not go unnoticed

Windows 7 users are already receiving the notice alerting them to the end of support for the operating system on their computer. One of the symptoms, together with the loss of market share, that gives us a glimpse that the end of one of the most successful versions of Windows is getting closer.

At the time we already warned that one of the formulas that Microsoft would use to notify its users of the cessation of support would be based on the use of large messages that would invite them to install a more modern version of Windows.Something that not long ago I was able to do for free by following these steps.

Windows 7 is coming to an end

Remember that Windows 7 will stop receiving security updates as of January 14, 2020 and Microsoft will notify us through a reminder that will appear insistently on our computers, although this can be discarded to avoid inconvenience.

Windows 7 is still still the operating system used on almost 30% of Windows PC's according to NetMarketshare and therefore is still a major player on today's stage. And although there are just over two months left for support to end, users are already receiving messages to notify them of this fact.

"

This is a message titled Support for Windows 7 is ending and next to it, a text lists details of the end of support and attaches a link to a Microsoft page with different reasons to explain why we should jump to another more current version:"

"

Upgrading to a more modern version of Windows may be, in most cases, the ideal option, but the situation may arise that makes it uninteresting or does not allow the jump to Windows 10. Thus that to prevent this warning from appearing on the screen constantly, can be disabled by checking the box Do not remind me again"

The date of end of support comes almost 10 years after Windows 7 debuted on the market, back in 2009, plus it was actually released on July 22, 2009. After that date, you may only get occasional updates, like those that came in the wake of WannaCry ransomware.
