At the beginning of this year, as we have been warning you for a long time, Microsoft decided to eliminate official support for Windows 7 . This version of the operating system is one of the most beloved of all that has been, so it is not good news for many.
This support was removed last January for free, since companies that want to pay for those updates will be able to subscribe to a paid plan. But the truth is that this does not affect the majority of end users who have been exposed to possible external threats by not being able to receive more updates. This is something that the Redmond people have been warning about for years, urging to migrate to Windows 10 .
However, despite all this, there are still many millions of users who refuse to take that step of leaving Windows 7 to opt for Windows 10 . All despite the security notices that the firm has sent to all these clients in different ways. However, there are several things that are too well seen by the regulars of the old version of the system.
Things Microsoft must change in Windows 10 to attract customers
One of the most important aspects to consider is what refers to the price. And it is that while the first months after the launch of Windows 10 , the migration was free, now it is not. It is true that there are some tricks to be able to migrate without paying, but not everyone knows them. Thus, one of the measures to be taken should be that anyone who wants to go from Windows 7 to Windows 10, could do so at no cost.
On the other hand, we find one of the sections that most throws many backwards, and that is related to telemetry . This is something that Microsoft has already smoothed out quite a bit in the latest versions of the system, but it still exists. We are talking about the use tracking that is done to send personal data to the company’s servers. This is done in order to improve future versions of the software, but obviously hardly anyone likes it, least of all the usual Windows 7 users.
This is demanded by Windows 7 users to migrate
On the other hand, we find the Microsoft Store and the UWP applications, a modern application format that, as you know, reached this version of the system. Well, many of those who continue to work with the old version are completely reluctant to these native system applications. They consider them useless and that they only take up disk space.
Thus, they prefer to continue working with the usual Win32 , something that can also be done in Windows 10 if desired. But with everything and with it, this is one of the reasons why they do not migrate that are also heard more. And finally, we find the consumption of resources , since Windows 10 does not stop growing and needs more powerful equipment to function smoothly.
And of course, not everyone has a PC powerful enough, so they are not willing to buy a new computer to use with Windows 10. Therefore a reduced version for limited computers of the latter Windows, it would not hurt to convince many.
