I replaced my previous laptop and desktop PCs when they were six years old, and I think this is a sensible strategy. Processors have come a lot way in the last decade, particularly in power efficiency, which is good for battery life and your wallet. I am saying you should avoid it as an unnecessary risk. Even parts on the QVL (Qualified Vendor List) are not guaranteed to work. Manufacturers don’t test their machines with obsolete operating systems.

Given that Windows 10 Pro can be set up to look and work much like Windows 7 Pro, it makes no sense to pay to extend Windows 7’s life unless your business absolutely depends on it.Įven if you disregard the security risk, it’s a bad idea to try to run Windows 7 on hardware designed for Windows 10. Windows 7 Pro charges are twice that, but still only half the typical charges for extending Windows XP support. I understand that Windows 7 Extended Security Updates for Windows Enterprise Edition will cost $25 per device for the first year, $50 for the second year and $100 for the third year. After that, there will be no more security patches except for the companies able and willing to pay. Windows 7 was launched in 2009, and reaches the end of its supported life in January 2020. On the other hand, it could make sense for a company to replace a high-spec machine that is only a few months old if time is extremely valuable, as it can be in financial organisations. It might not be worth replacing a very old PC that’s only used for personal emails, especially if the user is short of cash.
