Are you still using Windows 7? We’re sorry, you have to switch to Windows 10 now
And if it can be at 11, even better

Hello, good day, did you ask someone to break the glass that connects you with reality and makes you see time in an erroneous way? Well, that’s what we’re here for, to tell you that Windows 7 was born in 2009, fifteen years ago. To give you an idea of what we’re talking about, there is more time between today and the release of Windows 7 than there was between Windows 95 and Windows 7. No, it wasn’t born yesterday. And it’s time for you to change your mindset. Literally.
And…now what?
Basically, developers on Windows have started to abandon support for Windows 7, and if you have any issues while using it, it is likely that no one will help you. Don’t worry: upgrading to Windows 10 is completely free… although you will encounter a problem soon, because on October 14, 2025, ten years after its release, support will also be discontinued.
So, what’s the solution? Well, possibly upgrading to Windows 11 completely, although you may have to retire your decade-old computer for that. Yes, don’t worry about the expense: any laptop, no matter how basic it may seem, will be an incredible improvement compared to what you had before because everything has evolved enormously in the last fifteen years.

Probably switching to a system like Windows 11 after years with Windows 7 is going to be a little shock, but we assure you that all the changes are for the better once you get used to them, from virtual desktops to a unified notification system to see them all in one place, or an easier way to organize your windows for multitasking.
But let’s say you flatly refuse to change your old Windows 7. You can, but you will face several problems: apps will stop updating, the operating system will be vulnerable to risks, and there will be no one on the other side to help you. At least switch to Windows 10, and then we’ll see what happens. Take a friend’s advice.
