Corrine Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 October 31, 2016, is the EoS (End of Sales) date for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. That means that as of November 1, OEMs will no longer be able to sell PCs with those operating systems installed. EoL (End of Life) for Windows 7 is January 14, 2020 and January 10, 2023 for Windows 8.1, after which time no further security updates will be provided for them.\ You have one month left to buy a Windows 7 PC | ZDNet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Kinda funny how you have to keep buying the latest phone or your Apps won't work as they are updated. Meanwhile you hold on to the old desktop OS's because no one will ever update your scanner, printer, or whatever drivers/programs to work on the new OS.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 It's a world of planned obsolescence, my friend. Been that way since the 60s or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
