MS extends Win7 Pro security updates past Jan 2020... for a fee

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Well at least they're giving businesses a way to keep using Win7 Pro after end of support on Jan 2020 until 2023, but it will cost.

Won't include Win7 Home though.

Pricing not announced yet.

So I guess they don't want to have a repeat of XP that was extended for another 2-3 years?

Now thinking about this more, I bet there will be those that will post the updates for free.
