“Ten years is 365 242 199 days. The number which makes you dizzy. How much has changed at that time is best seen by computers and devices from the world of technology available at that time in 2009 – and today. Cell phones instead of almost 5 inch touch screens closed on the flap, or rang in a sound similar to the 90s synthesizer, the tablets were just crawling and the laptops – with the charger weighed in the set as much as a packed travel suitcase with items for an extended weekend “- we read in Paweł’s entry Łakomski from Microsoft.

However, if you’re still using Windows 7, it’s important to remember that the technical support of Windows 7 will end on January 14, 2020. After this date, technical support and software updates from Windows Update to help protect your computer will no longer be available for the product.
