What happens if I continue to use windows 7?
You can continue to use Windows 7, but once support ends your PC will become more vulnerable to security risks. Windows will operate, but you will stop receiving security and feature updates.
What does windows 7 end of life mean for my security?
There are serious security concerns if you continue to use Windows 7 past the end of life date. After 14th of January 2020 Microsoft will not take responsibility for any security breaches that happen to Windows 7.
