Windows 7 and Avira - What happens after 14 January 2020?

Hello, everybody,

Everything has an end and so does Windows 7.

As you probably already know, Microsoft will provide Windows 7 with updates for the last time on 14.01.2020.

If and how far this decision is comprehensible, we can't and don't want to judge. But it is a fact that this is the end of Windows 7.

More important is the question of compatibility with Avira and how our support will continue. For this, we have published an article which we would like to suggest to you.

The long story short:

• We continue to support Windows 7
• Updates for Avira products are also provided as usual
• Technical support is provided

Nevertheless, we recommend to think about an operating system upgrade (e.g. Windows 10) as soon as possible. This is for the security of your devices.

Best,

Arthur Lukas Huptas
