It depends on how you think about it, but Microsoft at least treats Windows Embedded POSReady 7 as a different version of Windows to Windows 7 (they treat it as a version of Windows Embedded). So - going by Microsoft's logic, anyway - today is the true end of support for Windows 7.
@@WindowsOnWindows I do agree with you, but my point came from the fact that Embedded POSReady 7 is _based_ on Windows 7 with no major differences (so it'd still feel like using Windows 7), hence why I finished by saying "as a whole". I see now, however, that my phrasing of this relative to my point was far too ambiguous... After all, Windows 11 is effectively based on Windows 7 (via 8, 8.1, and 10, of course)!
It should be worth mentioning that Windows Embedded POSReady 7 still receives ESU updates until October 2024. A similar case for Standard updates is true for Windows 8.1 Embedded Industry, although only for about half a year versus a year and a half when compared against POSReady 7's ESU service.
Me neither. I think the real death of Windows 7 is coming soon though since web browsers don't support it anymore and websites hate out of date browsers. As of late 2022, I noticed that one website just refused to load on Windows 7 and I expect more websites to have problems in the near future as web browsers get more and more out of date.
@@averyalexander2303 Firefox will continue to support 7 for a while. Edge and Chrome will stop supporting 7 probably in February with version 110 but they suck anyway, and even when firefox does stop officially supporting 7, the community will be able to modify Firefox to work on 7 (just look at Mypal and many other browsers that still work great on XP and Vista.) I have yet to find a website that wouldn't load on my Firefox, and as a matter of fact, I have yet to find a legitimate reason to switch to 10 or 11 as my main OS, so here's to another 10+ solid years of using windows 7!

last version of windows to ship with a user accessible classic theme. last version with no invasive telemetry. last version that looked half decent. is a sad day indeed
Windows 7 is the last Operating System that can be installed on one of my laptops I bought in 2005. The laptop came with Windows XP Media Centre Edition and ran very well. I installed Vista it ran like crap so I downgraded back to XP. Windows 7 came out and got it for that laptop. It ran better than Windows XP MCE. Then when Windows 8 came out that’s when I came to the realisation that laptop is now becoming obsolete as it couldn’t be installed. Now hearing that Windows 7 is now not supported I am now sad to see this laptop I’ve had since 2005 is now going to be completely useless. RIP Windows 7.
Still using 7 this very moment, have been for 11 years on the same cheap HP slimline that has not failed but for once when the power supply failed after five years, I never turn it off, it has been "ON" 24/7/365 since 1/1/2012, with the exception for restarts and maintenance, a processor and ram upgrade! I did buy a mini PC with 11 pro and run it on my 55" tv, just to get "used to it" should, or when the day comes the little HP decides it has had enough!
RIP the second (in chronological order. Whether XP is better than 7 or 7 is better than XP is open for debate, but it's not one I believe is worth having, as both of them are great and deserve a tie for the #1 place, with Windows 2000 in 2nd) best version of Windows to ever exist. :'( I would honestly still be using it if new hardware supported it. 7 was a Windows that got me "in love" instantly. Literally. Back in the day, when I was working at a computers repair shop (I'm a computer technician) and shortly after it was launched, a client came to the shop and bought a new, custom built PC from us. At the time we were still installing Windows XP Professional by default, but this client brought a new Windows that I had only heard about and asked it to be installed for him on his new PC. That was a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate and the job of building that PC and setting it up was assigned to me. I was amazed by 7 and to this day, I still believe it had the best installation, configuration/customization and usability experience of all Windows before and after it. It was pretty, it was fast, it had everything that you needed or wanted very easily accessible, it did not get in your way and if you "told" it to do or not do something by changing some setting, it would keep that setting and never change it back by itself. It would just obey your commands (I honestly still can't say any of that about 10 and 11). I fell in love and a few months later, when I finally had enough money to afford me a new PC and finally put my old Athlon XP 2000+ away, I didn't think twice about migrating from Windows XP to 7. I love XP, but 7 was just so much better in almost all aspects. That new PC I got in 2009 was a Core i5 760, the first generation of the Core i family from Intel. I used that computer with Windows 7 Ultimate every single day since its very first boot back in 2009 all the way up until June 2021, when I retired it and replaced it with a Ryzen 5600X due to newer software being too heavy and demanding for that old i5. Sadly, that is also when I had to say good-bye to Windows 7, as the motherboard on the new system does not offer driver support for 7, so I was forced to migrate over to Windows 10. If it weren't for that, I'd still be using 7. In all those 12 years I ran Windows 7 on that PC, I only needed to format and install Windows back again one single time. And that was only because a power surge killed my boot drive back in 2013, which forced me to buy a new one and therefore, install a fresh copy of Windows. But since then, I never had any issues with that PC or Windows. It just worked, and until the very last day that I used it on that computer, it was still running just as quickly and responsively as when it was brand new or as if I had just installed it. It never gave me any reason to get angry at it. Which is also not something I can say about Windows 10, sadly. Honestly, as both a IT professional and user, except for Windows 10 and 11's support for newer hardware and a handful of new feature (most of which are barely worth it), there is nothing about them that I find attractive. Those details aside, both of them are the complete opposite of what 7 was. While 7 was pretty, non-intrusive, easy to find everything and all the other things I mentioned previously, 10 and 11 look bland and boring, are highly intrusive and imposing, had several useful features and utilities that 7 had either removed or hidden away, making them much harder to find and use. And what is left, just doesn't work as well as it did in past versions. It's shameful, but that's what we are stuck with now. Except for those who can manage to adapt their workflows to Linux (sadly, that is not something I could yet do, despite me trying).
As someone who unironically uses Windows 7 (Home Premium) I think that windows 11 and 10 are just too hard to use. When my dad got his Windows 10 computer, it took days for him to figure out how to use it. When he used Windows 7, it just clicked.
Hi. Would it be possible to receive more updates with a registry trick similar to what happened with xp and the embedded version? With xp it extended support till 2019, and with 7 it should be till 2024 (when posready 7 ends support)...
Meanwhile, if I was still using windows, I’d probably be using Windows 7; I can’t stand windows 10 or 11, and 8.1 is only useable if you make it look like 7 anyways.
It’s 2024, 3 years since 7 Home & Ultimate ended their support life, 1 year since 7 Pro & Enterprise ended their support life, and a couple weeks since server 2008 retired. And yet I’m still using Windows 7 Home Premium as a daily driver. Am I a psycho?
