Microsoft is giving away one year of post-retirement support for Windows 7 to customers with active Windows 10 subscriptions. Windows 7 Extended Security Updates (ESU) announced in September were cast as a last resort for organizations unable to move off the OS before its Jan. 14, 2020, retirement. Microsoft’s promotion, which runs through Dec. 31, provides the first year of ESU to all subscribers of the eligible plans if those subscriptions were purchased before the end of this year and still active on last day of December.”]
