The five-year-old Windows 7, which has already been succeeded by Windows 8 and the soon-to-be-launched Windows 10, will not get any more new features from Microsoft. However, it will still get security updates from the company until January 2020.

 

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 (both enterprise and standard versions) will also get only security updates from now.

 

World's biggest software maker, Microsoft had announced in July 2014 that it will end mainstream support for Windows 7 from January 2015.

 

Microsoft had ended support for Windows XP, including security updates, last year.
