After January 14, Windows 7 users will get no more security updates to the operating system for free, warns Microsoft. Even though users will be able to continue to run Windows 7 after January, they could potentially face more security problems. Microsoft plans to deliver a new pop up notification to Windows 7 users on January 15, alerting them once more that the current model they use is out of support. The notification will be a part of a patch rollup, embedded in the monthly rollup KB4530734, which will be available to Windows 7 SP1 users on December 10th as a part of its scheduled Patch Tuesday updates.
