Should we say RIP windows 7 now?

[Dominator211]

Windows 7 is not supported by newer architectures and will not get any new technologies (like NVME support) and it will only get CRITICAL updates from now until 2020. since it is only getting critical updates it is practically dead isnt it?

Pretty much

 

[Futurdreamz]

yes. you shouldn't be using it anyways, and if you have old or obsolete hardware you should look into replacing the system or devising a custom solution if the system is critical.

 

[Kingy]

No.
Well, it depends on how you look at it, you can't get a 100% yes or no answer. But from me, no.

Why? Here. An OS that has 45.43% Desktop PC users using it wouldn't be "dead", in my opinion.

i don't dig windows 7 gold edition and i think those are for the most stubborn people that cannot seem to let go of their old hardware and even support for those end at some point

Not everybody likes what you like. They may not like Win8.1+, and they may not like the alternatives of Win7.

honestly windows 8.1 might be my next best bet but they are doing a similar thing with that too Microsoft is only concerned on 10

I'm sure his grandmother would love to take time away from her knitting to learn how to be a computer technician.

Try playing a Win 95 game on Win7.

What are you on about? NVMe works just fine in Windows 7 provided you have the drivers for it.

 

[leon315]

there was free update to win10, why didn't u guys do that?

 

[DarthDub]

I just got an update yesterday. Hardly far from dead if you ask me.

And how does that relate to NVMe?

Until Microsoft say so. It is still much alive and the critical update is still activate. My other laptop update from Windows 7 to Windows 10 because I feel that it is the time to do so. I have MAC, by the way.

i was just using NVME as an example you cannot put anything newer than skylake and install windows 7 on it

 

[Minox]

It's an incorrect example then since NVMe works just fine with Windows 7.

you can, i just did installed windows 7 in my kaby lake in my samsung nvme a month ago..
but trying to get updates throws up the "your cpu is too new" message, i am sure there is a not official way of getting rid of that shit and still get the updates tough
but installing and using windows 7 works fine

however, windows 7 or older will give you pain with usb 3.0 in some cases, and that doesn't matter to which cpu you have

then let me rephrase my sentence Microsoft i slowly killing it because it doesn't have support for newer cpus
