johnsmith12345 Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Does anyone still use Windows 7 - eg. for legacy software. And if so do you have extended support - and how much? Thanks Edited July 22, 2022 by elsiegee40
StephenPink Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 Yes - unfortunately! Not by choice, has been inherited. Around £40 per device, per year. Cheers
internetuser Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 Esu support ends in Dec 22/Jan 23 for Windows 7 and 2008r2 server You had to buy it in a year by year bundle. So if you wanted to buy it now you would have to buy year 1, 2 and 3
elyera Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 I still use Windows 7. I have tried Windows 10 and to be honest I didn't liked it. I want to try the 11 but not sure since my PC is really slow. 1

So much junk, wasted apps, useless telemetry etc. Windows 10 was a "we've got no choice" sort of thing. 1
CHiLL Posted September 16, 2022 Posted September 16, 2022 In terms of school owned/purchased equipment, no - we're on the latest version of Windows 10. Though we do have some off-domain third party legacy machines running Windows 7, namely the Cunninghams tills and revals, and Inventry's computer. 1
SpecialHeed Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 We have a handful of machines still operating 7. Mainly for particular software linked either to Special School programmes or to drive BMW diagnostic software on my laptop. Obviously, that is a very selfish choice.
