Windows 7: Challenges with outdated operating systems

Microsoft already discontinued support for the Windows 7 operating system in January 2020. As a result, security updates can no longer be provided for Windows 7.

  1. A lack of security updates creates potential points of attack for cyber criminals.
  2. Outdated operating systems impair the performance of machines and systems.
  3. Compatibility with new software solutions is limited.
