After a decade of support for the Windows 7, Microsoft has finally ended security updates for the operating system yesterday. This could mean that those who are still using the aforementioned operating system would be vulnerable to bugs, and further problems that will arise will no longer be fixed. Those who are part of companies which have paid for extended support, however, are good until 2023.
That doesn’t mean it’s the end for Windows 7 users, however. They can still get better protection through an upgrade loophole which Microsoft seems to not be particularly troubled about. The said loophole lets the person upgrade to Windows 10 free of charge, provided that he has a legitimate copy of Windows 7 or 8.1.

Oh, because none of it is correct, that will be why.
If the writer of it is British then she lives in a totally different Britain to the rest of us (even allowing for the passage of time).
