January 14th 2020, will be the last Windows 7 update for Home Premium, Pro, and Ultimate.
Supposedly, Microsoft will still update MS Security Essentials ( if you happen to use that), for a while.

There is a non-Microsoft group that will offer Windows 7 updates after January 2020. Use at your own risk.



You can still upgrade to Windows 10 for free, so you may want to consider that.

Supposedly, on the 15th there will be a full screen popup, (until you interact with it), explaining how there are no more Win 7 updates and you should move to Windows 10. I would imagine that just clicking on the "yeah OK" option or w/e they call it, will make the popup go away. But all they said was "until you interact with it".



We have a topic about moving from Win 7 to Win 10... https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=82358180&f=188
