Unfortunately, it is most likely that Windows 8 support will be ended in the near future as well. Essentially, even FBI recommends switching from Windows 7 to 10. In other terms, it is no longer safe to either use or store data on Windows 7 for security reasons, such as Zoom vulnerabilities. It means that the operating system is no longer being updated, bugs are not fixed, and users receive no technical support. The idea why people should use Windows 10 free download is because the official support for Windows 7 has been discontinued since January 14, 2021. The only thing is required - an authentic version of previous Windows versions and its activation key. Yet, many people have still been able to update their Windows 7 and 8 operating systems to the newest one in 2021.

It was a simple process that merely required a quick click on the upgrade button from the notification. It has been four years since Microsoft ended the offer to get Windows 10 for free by updating from previous versions in 2016.
