Microsoft has stopped selling Windows 7 Professional, Windows 8.1

As of yesterday, Microsoft has stopped selling buy office 2013 professional plus to system builders. The only way to get a copy of those operating systems now's to purchase the dwindling stock still available online. Technically, most versions of Windows 7 were performed the market 2 yrs ago, but Windows 7 Professional was still cleared for sale until October 31, as were all of the flavors of Windows 8.1. The chart below shows Microsoft's sales chart for preinstalled versions of Windows.

Windows 10 is listed to be supported indefinitely because, according to Microsoft, it is the last version of the operating system they will build. Whether that's actually true is a different question altogether, and that i ultimately expect it isn't. There is a lot of institutional expectation included in the idea of periodically updating one's operating-system, and Microsoft is the only company currently claiming its current OS has become a static flavor. Android, iOS, and macOS all still use version numbers, and I expect Microsoft will eventually to produce "Windows 11" as well, even if it automatically extends upgrades to any or all current users of Windows 10.

After a quantity of fits and starts, cheap office 2010 professional plus has decided to fully support Windows 7 and 8.1 on all Intel Skylake and AMD Carrizo platforms through the plaed end date for security fixes for all those operating systems (January 2020 and 2023, respectively). Future platforms, like Kaby Lake, Bristol Ridge, and all future APUs from AMD will only be supported on Windows 10. We've previously listed the long-term impossibility of keeping legacy hardware operational on unsupported platforms the long and short of it is that while it'll probably be possible to shoehorn Windows 7 or 8.1 onto newer hardware, it'll get progressively difficult as chipset drivers change and new hardware capabilities are put into both platforms. This may be particularly problematic on laptops, in which a lack of support for modern power management baked into newer chips can lead to poor life of the battery.
