Windows 7 may reach end of life for average consumers next year, but enterprise users can opt for Windows 7 Extended Security Updates (ESU) which will allow them to continue using Windows 7 (Professional and Enterprise versions) with the above assistance (perhaps even more) until January 2023.

but Windows 7 Embedded WILL be support until 2021

now @microsoftuk has given windows 7 an extended life here are 7 ways they could improve the #windows7 #update #ux so that someone doing a clean windows 7 install doesnt need to spend all day

fix the broken IE download website so you can use IE 8 to download IE 11 instead of having to download @mozilla #firefox to download IE 11
fix windows 7 update so you dont have to download IE 11 first (unknown error 8007000E)
ROLLUP the windows 7 update patchs so you dont have to spend a whole day downloading 180 patches (totalling over 1G)
sequence downloads by date (ie 2017, 2018 then 2019) so they are installed in correct date order instead of a random order
dont prompt to reboot while system processes (ie software reporter) are still using 100% cpu
dont say updates are complete when you will get another 12 updates if you click check for updates again
defer all malicious software removal tools to the end of the updates

next week we will look at 10 ways @microsoftuk could improve the windows 10 update ux
