I have just received notification from MicroSoft of the following:
"While you could continue to use your PC running Windows 7, without continued software and security updates, it will be at greater risk for viruses and malware. Going forward, the best way for you to stay secure is on Windows 10. And the best way to experience Windows 10 is on a new PC. While it is possible to install Windows 10 on your older device, it is not recommended."
(They are withdrawing support for Windows 7 on 14th January 2020)
In the current frenzy of 'green' environmental issues, how can a global company be recommending the disposal of millions of perfectly working PCs & laptops to be thrown into landfill and pump up consumerism to buy more 'stuff'?
