So far, I am not aware of Microsoft extending support beyond January 2023 for Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. The operating system should have been showing end-of-support warnings for some time (see Windows 8.1 now shows warnings 'end of support in January 2023'). This operating system will receive its last security update on January 10, 2023, on Microsoft Patchday, and will be considered 'End-of-Life' (EOL) from that point on. Windows 8.1 will also reach the end of support.

I had covered this in the article Wow! Windows 7 get extended support until January 2023. After being asked bei German blog reader how to disable this warning, here's a brief overview of the issue.Īfter all, support for Windows 7 SP1 had already expired in January 2020 – but in enterprise environments there was the option of an ESU program to get Extended Security Updates until January 2023. Google has therefore started to warn users of this browser on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 – and also on its server pendants – that support is ending and that they should switch to Windows 10.

With the end of support for the Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 operating systems, Google will also end support for the Google Chrome browser.
