  3. Post-End-of-Support Security Micropatches for Windows 7, 10 and 11, Windows Servers 2008 R2, 2012 and 2012 R2

How long do you plan to provide Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Micropatches?

Mitja Kolsek -

We currently plan to provide micropatches for end-of-support Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 systems until January 2025 2026 but will extend that as long as there is sufficient market demand for them. Yes, if this means providing patches for Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2 in 2030, we'll do that.

(We initially committed to one year, then three years, but a constantly growing number of legacy systems with 0patch installed makes it clear that a lot of users and organizations want to keep using systems that work for them instead of spending time and money on upgrading.)
