This deadline is encouraging businesses to move up to Windows 10.
Pencil in these dates as the transition to Windows 10 gathers momentum.
Dec 2019
Microsoft may start forcing Windows 7 to show users an on-screen nag reminding them of the upcoming Jan 14, 2020, retirement deadline and urging them to upgrade to Windows 10.

Microsoft will continue to craft security patches for Windows 7 after the operating system's retirement date.
Those fixes will not be offered to the general public or for free to corporate customers. Rather, Microsoft will sell what it calls "Windows 7 Extended Security Updates" (ESU) to businesses running Windows 7 Professional or Windows 7 Enterprise, and then only if those OSes were obtained via a volume licensing deal.
