Windows 7 is a version of Microsoft's operating system that will replace Windows Vista. Released October 22, 2009, became the new Windows XP with its fast recovery rate and provides great durability to the equipment it installed. Among the most relevant changes we find an improved interface and a simpler and faster system.

However, we have to move forward, and that also means upgrading our devices. As of January 14, 2020, Microsoft no longer provides support for Windows 7 computers, that is, computers with this operating system they will not receive any type of update to get new features or safety clips, so it's extra security.

If this is already a problem in the domestic environment, what about business, when handling sensitive information is very important. For them there are three solutions: Update current computers to Windows 10, convert them to newer versions of Windows 10, or make the jump to other platforms, such as MacOS. Many companies are able to choose this option.

While most companies will upgrade their computers to Windows 10, IDC analysts believe that 13% of information technology (IT) departments will exchange their computers for Windows 7 for others with macOS.

Gartner recently published results on the sale of computers in the last quarter of 2019, and those of Apple dropped to 5,262 million, 3% less at the same time in 2018. Beyond that, the details have to be taken with tweezers because the company no longer publishes specific statistics. The information displayed by Gartner is based on delivering products to distribution channels.

But this is not perfect, because The Mac would be just the beginning. Apple must be acknowledged for all the great work it has done by building a unique ecosystem between its devices, so it is likely that these companies that acquire the MacBook and iMac also end up making the iPad and iPhone with the benefits it serves.
