So I installed Windows 7 Home 64-bit clean to my one system that needed a clean install after 3 years of use in which it started to have some issues after games installed and uninstalled etc. Upon install after activating Windows 7 online, it performed a few updates and then I was greeted with this screen attached after reboot of first batch of updates. The way that it is worded it can be misinterpreted as Windows 7 no longer supported and its best to upgrade to Windows 10 with a line as strong as
"You are no longer receiving Windows Update security fixes that can help protect your PC from harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software." with the message stating as quoted below in full. To the lower left you can see the option to tell it to manually update to Service Pack 1 in which Windows 7 would not be out of date and a 190 updates await you after going this route vs venturing on to upgrading to Windows 10 through pressure/scare tactics. They are bending the english here with "
Your PC is running an outdated version of Windows 7". As for yes its outdated because its SP 0, but by which after installing SP1 it is still supported until 2020 as per.
Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows 7 on January 13, 2015, but extended support won't end until January 14, 2020. And after fully patched its secure still.
SORRY to Interrupt, but this is important.
Your PC is running an outdated version of Windows 7.
You are no longer receiving Windows Update security fixes that can help protect your PC from harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. Microsoft recommends upgrading to Windows 10 for the latest security features and protection against malware.
