January 2020 is approaching

As you may have heard, Microsoft has announced the retirement of Windows 7 and Server 2008 by January 14, 2020.

What will end of support mean for my company's current PCs?

Microsoft will no longer provide:

Technical support for any issues
Software updates
Security updates or fixes

Although your existing PCs will continue to operate and run, they will become increasingly vulnerable to security risks and malware. As a certified Microsoft Gold Partner, we highly recommend that you start the migration as soon as possible.

Since we know change can be difficult, we are here to make the transition as smooth as possible. Contact us today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I upgrade my existing PC to Windows 10?

Although you can upgrade compatible Windows 7 PCs with a full license, we recommend moving to a new, faster and affordable PC with Windows 10 already installed on the device.

What will happen if I don’t upgrade?

As we mentioned above, Windows will discontinue any support, meaning your PC will be open and vulnerable to attacks, risking your organization’s data and security. Furthermore, extended support will come with increased costs.

Can Windows 7 still be activated after January 14, 2020?

Yes; however, Microsoft is officially recommending users to upgrade to Microsoft 10 before security updates and support ends, to avoid any vulnerability to viruses and security risks.
