Microsoft stopped selling computers preinstalled with Windows 7/8.1 at the end of October

If you want to buy a new computer, but do not have a cold on Windows 10, you'd better hurry up because the end of this month is Windows7 and Windows8.1 's final sales deadline. October 31 is the last day you can buy a new PC preinstalled with these two operating systems, and Microsoft will then focus on WINDOWS10 's new configuration development.

Although the end of the month is the sales deadline for Windows7 and Windows8.1 computers, this does not mean that the computers will disappear all at once. All the stock will continue to be sold, but the two systems will no longer be used to configure new computers from November 1 onwards.

All new computers will be fully pre-installed WINDOWS10 system in addition, stop selling does not affect the System update service, Windows7 and Windows8.1 computers will continue to enjoy the system update service until January 2020 and January 2023.

"End-of-sale means that this version of the Windows system is no longer shipped to retailers and OEMs, such as Dell and Toshiba. "Microsoft explains.

"It's important to note that when retail software products stop selling, they can still be bought by the original equipment manufacturer (the company that made the computer) before the computer's sales deadline." ”

WINDOWS10 will be the only pre-installed system for the new computer, and Microsoft hopes to promote the use of the new operating system through this initiative. Microsoft has planned to implement 1 billion computers to install the WINDOWS10 system in 2018, but has recently announced that the plan may not be possible due to a slowing trend in Windows10 usage.

The results of the end of the sale are still to be seen, but if consumers have no choice but to WINDOWS10, it is likely that the WINDOWS10 installation rate will increase.
