Windows 7 users opting out before Microsoft ends support
San Francisco: A few months before Microsoft ends support for its Windows 7 operating system, the older OS experienced a large drop in July. In July, user-base of Windows 7 dropped 3.6% — down to 31.8% — in the overall PC market, that led to a significant increase in the Windows 10 user-base, TechRadar on Sunday cited a report by analytics firm Net Applications as saying. Even though Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows 7 on January 2015, in January 2019, the software giant decided to put a final halt on the roll-out of free security patches for the OS on January 14, 2020.
