On Windows 7? Upgrade to stay secure.

Microsoft has announced that it will no longer support its Windows 7 operating system after 14th January 2020. This means that the PCs running the system will continue to operate, but Microsoft will no longer be providing security updates for Windows 7.

"Windows 7 is still a popular operating system with about 40% of PC's currently running it. Windows 10, the latest operating system, was launched by Microsoft in 2015, but many users have not felt the need to upgrade," explains Chris Joberns, Strident's managing director. "We will continue to support customers who have Windows 7, but without security updates they are leaving themselves open to malicious attacks."

How can Strident help?

As Microsoft Gold Partners, Strident can simplify the upgrade process. We can quickly evaluate whether your PC meets the minimum requirements and then ensure an upgrade goes smoothly, with the security of a comprehensive backup.
