If you don’t believe you’ll be able to upgrade your infrastructure off of Windows 7 Professional or Enterprise by January 14th, 2020 – the day Windows 7’s end-of-service – there is the *last resort* possibility of purchasing “extended security updates” on an annual basis for your remaining computers.
Be forewarned that “extended support” contracts:
- Require an existing Premier Services agreement
- Are paid annually & increase substantially in cost every year after
- Are only available for Windows 7 Enterprise & Professional
- Are available until January 2023
- Have a substantial price tag
Our End of Support page for Windows 7 is located here:
- Support is Ending for Windows 7
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/windows/end-of-windows-7-support
There is an abbreviated FAQ at the bottom of the page that highlights the availability of “extended security updates” for Windows 7 and points to a downloadable comprehensive FAQ document with more details:
- Are there alternatives that give me extra time to complete my migration while keeping my users safe?
For users of Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Enterprise, you can purchase extended security updates through January 2023. For an in-depth FAQ about Windows 7 Extended Security Updates, please download the Microsoft end of support FAQ.
