After some 4.5 years of trying to get Windows 7 users onboard its latest desktop operating system, Microsoft is officially calling it quits on Windows 7 in about 2 weeks. Potentially the most favourite desktop OS ever created, there are still millions of users reluctant to make the inevitable upgrade to Windows 10 - which, contrary to the popular belief, remains free.

While Microsoft had said that users should stop expecting any kind of support after January 14, 2020, it appears that the company will continue to send security definition updates to Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE).
