Windows 7 will become increasingly vulnerable without security updates. How pervasive is the Microsoft Windows 7 user base? According to Dublin-based StatCounter GS, the global Windows 7 Server Pack 1 (SP1) market share is still 33.6% as of May 2019. This end-of-support means no more Windows 7 patching, bug fixes, or security updates to protect older systems that may include your e-commerce server or point-of-sale (POS) system or financial database with Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
