Still there is only one year left of support if you do that.
- graycat 2y agoI still get "security updates" for Windows 7 Professional and am unsure what the lack of "support" might mean for my business.
- jborean93 2y agoExtended support ended in Jan 2020 and the paid ESU support ended in Jan 2023 [1]. Are you sure those updates aren't just defender/AV definition updates rather than actual OS updates?

- graycat 2y agoPerhaps: "Defender" is what I've noticed.
- bravetraveler 2y agoAnti-virus definitions, not really exhaustive security maintenance. Defender is their AV. The firewall/kernel isn't included, for example How important that is, no idea! The firewall is probably passable but I generally don't know your risk profile. Applications and the rest of the system offer a lot of surface area

- hnuser123456 2y agowindows embedded standard
- yyyk 2y agoOdd, there are still Windows 2008 R2 patches. Why? I thought ESU year 4 ended in Jan 2024...
- graycat 2y agoWOW! Looks good. Thanks!
- _mlbt 2y agoYou should try Start11, it gives you a classic Windows UI on modern versions of Windows that are still actively receiving security patches. https://www.stardock.com/products/start11/ https://www.stardock.com/products/start11/
- unleaded 2y agolooks more like the opposite to me
- flir 2y agoAn error occurred during a connection to www.stardock.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. There's an irony there somewhere. (It's probably because I disable some cipher suites).
- philistine 2y agoFrom the people who brought you ... Sins of a Solar Empire??
- BSDobelix 2y ago>Sins of a Solar Empire?? A game released 12 years ago and still gets regular patches? Completely fine with that.
- philistine 2y agoI know, it's just weird they make games and Windows software.
- BSDobelix 2y agoLike Microsoft? ;)
- yyyk 2y ago0patch* is supposed to help with these old systems, but I don't have experience with it beyond hearing about it. * https://0patch.com/ https://0patch.com/

- amaccuish 2y agoBut their license probably doesn't cover that...
- rustcleaner 2y agoThere are windows licenses?!!
- andrecarini 2y agoThat's for the IoT variant, which is further segmented into incrementally expensive editions depending on the CPU you want to use it with. And good luck finding somewhere to buy a single license of that. And even then, there's a high chance software you use (browser, IDEs, ...) will not keep getting updates after 2025.
- ThatMedicIsASpy 2y agoW10 offers extended support for everyone as long as you pay for it. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/when-to-use-windows-10-extended-security-updates/ba-p/4102628 https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/w...
