How long do you really want to keep using Windows 7?



Personally, I still see hundreds of users still stuck in Windows 7. So far I haven't seen much wrong with that. In fact, in some cases these same people still using Windows 7 need to. Not all software or compliancy requirements are Windows 10 compatible, which is something to keep in mind when planning an upgrade path. Windows 10 has been out since September 30, 2014 and has yet to gather universal support from third party vendors to properly run applications securely for hospitals, banks, pharmacies and a spattering of other important industries.  While I see quite a few instances of mixed operating systems in these cases, and it so far works well, there's a new layer of technicality when you work with an environment that isn't always contiguous.



For those of you who are asking how much longer you can still use Windows 7:  a few more years .... but we know how fast those go by.
