I understand that Windows 7 Extended Security Updates for Windows Enterprise Edition will cost $25 per device for the first year, $50 for the second year and $100 for the third year. After that, there will be no more security patches except for the companies able and willing to pay. Windows 7 was launched in 2009, and reaches the end of its supported life in January 2020. On the other hand, it could make sense for a company to replace a high-spec machine that is only a few months old if time is extremely valuable, as it can be in financial organisations. It might not be worth replacing a very old PC that’s only used for personal emails, especially if the user is short of cash. Some are personal, such as what you use it for, how much money you can spare, and whether your time has any value.Ĭircumstances alter cases. Some are technical, such as the specification, the build quality, and whether it will actually run Windows 10. The time to sell, repurpose or recycle an old PC depends on a large number of factors. There is no universal answer to your first question. Other than those factors, is there any reason to replace the machine? If I buy a Windows 10 machine, could I or should I continue to run Windows 7 on it? Pablo The keyboard and battery could be replaced for less than $100. I’m perfectly happy with it, except the keyboard needs replacing and batteries seem to lose their ability to charge within a couple of years. I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T510 purchased about six years ago.
