As you know, Microsoft declared that it would no longer offer support and updates for Windows 7 after January 2020.
This means that companies or individuals who choose to continue using Windows 7 after that will not receive updates, exposing their system to many potential bugs and security issues. However, there is one option. It is an organization that cannot be created using a Windows 7 volume license. You have the option of paying for a security renewal for an additional 3 years to switch times. Microsoft reports that the price of this extra security coverage will increase year by year.
By comparison, Windows 10 is an essential update for the system to maintain optimal performance. Windows 10 Enterprise users can delay/postpone the installation until the update is free. To minimize overall downtime, Microsoft has announced that it will push these updates to Enterprise users too often.
