Windows 7 is supported until 2023.


No, that's Windows 8.1. Windows 7 is toast. See here:

No, Windows 7 is still supported until 2023. At at minimum for all companies that are paying for windows support automatically.

As a consumer, I have an old Windows 7 laptop that I use once a month or less (don't need to travel much lately). I can tell you that it's been continuing to run windows updates all year long after the EOL. It's a major issue for me to use the laptop because it's running updates for hours whenever it's taken out of storage :(


Sucks for some individuals, but I guess those companies paying for support for Windows 7 can do the same for python support if they require it. At some point those volunteering their support probably want move on.
