As you may already be aware, Microsoft will end support for Windows 7 on January 14, 2020.

When Windows 7 was released on October 22, 2009, Microsoft made a commitment to provide 10 years of product support.
As this 10-year period ends, Microsoft will discontinue Windows 7 support so that it can focus our investment on supporting newer technologies and great new experiences.
The specific end of support day for Windows 7 will be January 14, 2020. After that, technical assistance and software updates from Windows Update that help protect your systems will no longer be available for the product.
We, along with Microsoft strongly recommend that you move to new Windows 10 systems well before January 2020 to avoid a situation where you need service or support that is no longer available.
