Microsoft has issued a patch to remind Windows 7 users that they'll soon have no patches. The update tells users that they won't be able to get. With Windows 7 approaching the end of support deadline, it’s time to get cracking on upgrading your organization to Windows 10. Use this planner to help ensure a successful migration. All good things must come to an end, and the reign of Windows 7 as an actively supported, good-enough operating system is no exception.
It's now mere weeks until Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft. When January 14, 2020 rolls around, the end date for support will have been reached, and Microsoft is keen for people to upgrade to Windows 10 to avoid having insecure computers that don't receive updates.
But not all security updates are being dropped. Having previously said that Microsoft Security Essentials would no longer receive updates when Windows 7 support ends, the company has indicated that updates will in fact continue to be released.

In the FAQ about Extended Security Updates for Windows 7, Microsoft had previously stated 'your Windows 7 PC will not be protected by Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) after January 14, 2020'. The reason given for this was that 'this product is unique to Windows 7 and follows the same lifecycle dates for support'.
However -- as OnMSFT notes -- during an AMA session, Microsoft's Mike Cure offered up some contradictory information. Shortly afterwards, the FAQ was updated, and it now reads:
Will Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) continue to protect my computer after the end of support?
Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) will continue to receive signature updates after January 14, 2020. However, the MSE platform will no longer be updated.
While this does not mean that Windows 7 users will end up with the support updates they have received for so many years, it does mean that Microsoft will continue to offer them some level of protection for a little while longer.

In special cases, if you need to work with multiple people with different languages on one computer, you must change the user interface to the user's native language. This is not possible without installing the appropriate language pack. But it is quite easy to install this component on a Windows 7 PC.
Info:
You can change the language Windows 7 uses to display text in wizards, windows, dialog boxes, menus, and other windows items in the user interface. Some display languages are installed by default on Windows 7, while others require you to install additional language files.
Before you can install a display language, you need access to the Windows 7 language files. These files can be found on your computer, a computer in your network, or your Windows DVD. They can also be downloaded from the web. For more information, see
