On January 14, 2020<br \/>\nthe official support for Windows 7 will end and end<br \/>\nusers will no longer receive security updates for the<br \/>\nOS. MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) is not affected.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Microsoft has earlier stated that MSE won&#8217;t receive signature updates after January 14<sup>th<\/sup>, 2020 as well but now has announced that they will continue to supply signature files for MSE to provide basic protection for Windows 7.<\/p>\n<p>Users still favoring Windows 7 won&#8217;t be cut off instantly this way.<\/p>\n<p>Windows 7 has been released on October 22<sup>nd<\/sup>, 2009 and thus has been a reliable OS for over ten years now. Even we have some older PCs running with Windows 7 as it does not fail to work and fullfill it&#8217;s tasks reliably.<\/p>\n<p>However modern PCs and modern hard-\/software make it necessary to run Windows 10 now. Although Windows 10 seems stable as well, some patches have brought up issues which haven&#8217;t been spotted on updates with Windows 7 in it&#8217;s gravity.<\/p>\n<p>This and the extreme telemetry Windows 10 does in the background, makes Windows 7 still a favourite for old-fashioned users as well as it&#8217;s not-so-flat design in the UI. The Aero interface still has it&#8217;s fans among other features (sidebar gadgets, etc.)<\/p>\n<p>One of the bigger problems is the scaling of the UI on 4K monitors. Since Windows 7 does not know Vector scaling, UI elements are extremely small when used on a 4K monitor.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway it&#8217;s slowly time to say goodbye, old, reliable friend!<\/p>\n<div id=\"polls-23\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Would you still run Windows 7, if it was capable running on modern hardware?<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-23-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li>Yes, definitely! <small>(0%, 14 Votes)<\/small><div class=\"pollbar\" style=\"width: 1%;\" title=\"Yes, definitely!
