    Windows 7 Support ends in three years


    The 'GWX' app is gone but it's reported that some of the other free upgrade routes do still work.

    Yep, can still get the free Win10, did 3 computers just a week ago, 2 Desktops and 1 Notebook. All 3 had Vista but was able to upgrade to Win7 then get Win10. Couldn't do a Dell Latitude Notebook, no drivers for the video adapter.

    I think there will be a fair few folks looking to upgrade from Vista in the next 3 months or so and probably soon after it goes out of support in April.
    Although Vista probably only has a few percent of Windows installations these days, it's still a few percent of a very big number.

    Windows 7 Support ends in three years

    I don't see them putting another offer on the books for when support finally ends. Why should they? It's not like there wasn't lots of time to take them up on the free upgrade offer. Which, as near as I can tell, is still on the go, unofficially. Upgrade, get your Digital license, Rollback. Then you can upgrade again, or clean install when the time comes.

    Well... my new laptop came with Windows 10 so... nothing to worry about.

    My old one came with Windows 7, I tested Windows 10 on it, and while the OS works fairly good, hardware acceleration for videos is just crimpled... the poor thing becomes an oven when you try to play multimedia on it... I still have that license just in case I really need it, but since hardware acceleration is something I need with almost everything, that PC is doomed to stay tied to Windows 7 to ratain full funcionality. Not that is a bad thing. I will always have love for Windows 7 *Biggrin
