After January 14, 2020, you can continue to use devices with Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server 2008 R2 installed, but you can use 'Specification changes, new feature requests', 'Security updates, program support', ' You will not be able to use functions such as 'free and paid support.' Microsoft strongly recommends migrating to Windows 10, stating that 'security updates will no longer be offered and you will continue to be at risk for malware infection, phishing scams, and information leaks.'
The free upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 is ongoing as of January 14, 2020. Unless your hardware is incompatible with Windows 10, you can upgrade to Windows 10 with a Windows 7 or Windows 8 product key and media creation tool.

As a remedy for discontinuing Windows 7 support, Microsoft is also offering an Extended Security Update (ESU) that extends Windows 7 support for three years. However, only Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Enterprise editions are supported, and the support itself is a paid support that is charged per device, so it is considered to be a measure for large enterprises only.
