Windows 7 End of Life Support
Is Your Outdated Microsoft Software Putting Your Data At Risk?
Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2008/2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008/ 2008 R2 ended July 9, 2019 and January 14 2020 respectively with support for Windows 7 ending on January 14, 2020. These dates signaled the end of regular patches and security updates for any new viruses or security problems. As a result, this leaves all systems and data exposed and vulnerable to new and emerging security threats.

- Damaged Business Profits
