I read that support for Windows 7 without service packs installed by April 2013 ended. Does that mean I can't get any updates due to purchase in 2014

I purchased my Thinkpad with Windows 7 SP1 in April 2014 and have received an occasional update to the system. I always receive Windows Defender Security updates. If you look on the Control Panel and choose List View for the icons in the window, go the end of the window pane to see the Windows Update icon. If you choose the button to see all the Windows updates, you can tell what kind of updates have been installed. I have had no problems with my operating system. I also have MacAfee antivirus program because I don't think the Windows Defender is enough.

I am not sure of the correct answer but I purchased this laptop in early 2014 and I am getting updates.

My first question is why spend a dime on such an old laptop. Windows XP will not be supported after April 9th.

XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, best reformat and Install Wins 7 and run in the "Classic Mode" looks just like XP but Win 7 is still supported by Microsoft.

Windows Server 2012 are being sold without any CAL. You have to get the 5-pack CAL in order to use that on the network.

THE BOX SAYS: OS SUPPORT: Windows (SP3 or greater), Windows Vista and Windows 7. Maybe you should be careful using it with an O/S not mentioned by the manufacturer and ask them ...

I would first go to Microsoft Download website and check and if that does work, call microsoft rep and ask for a CD (copy) of Windows 7 ISP ..I know its older but a lot of people still use it..Hope this helps..Steve

Does the core 2 solo version come with a free upgrade to windows 7? I wasn't able to find that anywhere, could you give me a link?Also, the model with the core duo processor is currently unavailable. I couldn't find any information if its been discontinued or not, anyone know if its coming back?Thanks

Hello Linda, When I bought my current computer I requested Windows 7 as the OS. My computer "guru" suggested that I purchase the "professional" upgrade to W7 and then I could use all my older software. That is what I did and the older software works just fine, saving me a bundle! Anna

It mostly works with Windows 7 as a client now, but there is better compatibility coming with Power Pack 3. This should be released "soon"...

Mine was windows 8. Upgrade to 8.1 was free and easy. Most articles I've read say the upgrade to Windows 10 (looks like Microsoft is skipping 9.0) will be free as well.

Microsoft discontinued selling stand-alone products such as Publisher; if you want it you will need to get the entire package (rather expensive) which, incidentally, no longer comes on a CD hence is almost impossible to install by yourself. I can't address the compatibility - I just don't know. In the end it was a very expensive lesson for me. I wish you the best of luck!
