Tech News Nearly a quarter of PC users are still running Windows 7

Some of the Windows 7 system could be on Extended Support, but it won’t be available forever

Almost a quarter of computer users are still using the end-of-life (EOL) OS Windows 7, despite it having stopped receiving updates in January 2020.


That's according to a report from antivirus vendor Kaspersky,despite Microsoft having stopped delivering security updates to Windows 7 installations on January 14, 2020. As is the norm, Microsoft’s move was quickly followed by many third-party vendors, who dropped the OS from their list of supported OS’s.

Kaspersky acknowledges that while updating the OS seems like a nuisance to many, not doing so offers threat actors to find their way into your installation with much more ease.

Even if you think you are vigilant and protected while online, updating your OS is an essential element of security that should not be overlooked, regardless of any third-party security solution’s presence. If [the] OS is obsolete, it can no longer receive these critical updates,” says Oleg Gorobets, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Kaspersky.


Clear and present danger​


When further analyzing the Windows 7 users, Kaspersky observes that consumers, small and medium businesses (SMBs), and very small businesses (VSBs) occupy almost the same share – 22% each.


Kaspersky reasons that the use of Windows 7 by VSBs is particularly worrying since they don’t have the resources for dedicated IT security staff, and an outdated OS puts them at a far greater risk of cyberattacks.


One small siver lining is that the study only covers installations that are enrolled with the Kaspersky Security Network (KSN), which means the total number of Internet-connected Windows 7 machines could be far greater.

True, some of these Windows 7 machines could be enrolled with the Windows 7 Extended Security Updates (ESU) program. However as Kaspersky notes, not only does the ESU program entail additional costs, it won’t be available forever


In any case, ESU programs are designed to give users extra time to plan the migration of their critical services from EOL OSes, and shouldn’t be used as an excuse to continue using an old OS.

And yet, there are still a smaller percentage that uses Windows XP these days too. :giggle:
I'm still looking for a good linux distro to replace Windows 7 on my old (now 16 years old) file/media server. Eventually I will find something I can use. :nerd:

Imo Windows 10 LTSC 1809 is the best os. Same speed (or better) like Windows 7 (tested with old hardware). Can install UWP apps? YES! Can update? YES! Is stable like a rock? YES! Is enough for my needs (and all of my friends)? Absolutely yes! Conclusion? Long live LTSC 1809! Windows 7 is really outdated.

I am also using Windows 10 Enterprises LTSC 1809 for a long time... best one ...got it from Team-os.... Hope we will get updates till 2027. Fbconan is advising that better to change to IOT version and we will get another 5 years ..2032..total 10 years...
Regarding Win7, I am using one ISO made by Mr. Rain... Super version... But now a days we can see mr Rain...Where is he ??

I only use Windows for a video game and my son to play Roblox, running Windows 11 and Mint 21 on an HP Z230 at the moment, 98% on Linux. Windows 11 22H2 Pro (Build 22621.1) Bypassed + Untouched by FBConan. Runs very well on this setup.

I just stepped up to windows 10, kicking and screaming I might add,
a few years ago, and here comes windows 11 just as I start feeling truly
comfortable with ten.
I tried Win11 on my main PC and a few others, but I plan on putting windows 10
back on my main, the LTSC version, but Win 7 is and will always be one of my fav. :)

For those who want to use 7 or XP, have a look at Deep Freeze or Shadow Defender, Reboot RestoreRX etc. It's a great way to use older systems in a safe way. XP makes a great file / video /audio /print server.

I do, as a daily driver I use Mint Mate. However, for file, print, folder, media sharing, linux can be a pain to configure to share to windows machines easily.
