Are you still running on Windows 7? We guess there’s a certain appeal to it since it is a platform that many are familiar with, and with Microsoft kind of messing up with Windows 8, we guess some are still a bit skeptical about whether Windows 10 has fixed those problems, or if we’re just looking at another mess.Naturally Microsoft wants users to migrate to Windows 10, so much so in a post on their website (via Myce), the company has basically told its users that Windows 7 has outdated security that will no longer be able to keep up with today’s increased security requirements. So if you want your computer to be as secure as possible, at least from an OS point of view, then you definitely should upgrade to Windows 10.
The blog post which was made in German reads, “Windows 10 is the only Windows version to provide support for the latest Intel, AMD and Qualcomm chips. In addition, many programs are already written or developed for newer versions of Windows.” They also say that companies who continue to use the operating system are taking “enormous dangers”.
Markus Nitschke, Head of Windows at Microsoft Deutschland said, “Windows 7 slowly becomes old. It does not meet the requirements of today’s modern technology, nor the high security requirements of IT departments. We learned from Windows XP that companies should take early steps to avoid future risks or costs.”
