According to the source, July security patches KB5015861 and KB5015862 contain the necessary licenses and keys to extend extended support. So support will no longer end in 2023, but in January 2026.

The following versions will receive updates as part of the extended support program:

  • Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise
  • Windows 7 SP1 Pro
  • Windows Server 2008 R2
  • Windows Embedded Standard 7
  • Windows Embedded POS Ready 7

Windows 7’s market share is more than Windows 11

According to Statcounter, Windows 7 still occupies 11.54% of the market, which means it has more market share than Windows 11. The market share of Windows 11 is 10.96%.

Earlier, Microsoft had also released updates with fixes and new features for Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 and Windows 11.
