Microsoft may want to understand how many Windows 7 machines are left in the wild and whether they have compatibility problems with new software.Ĭhris Hoffman is the former Editor-in-Chief of How-To Geek. Windows 7 is already nagging users about updates. Windows 7 users don't have much time left before they should upgrade-just six months. It's hard to say exactly why Microsoft is trying to install the telemetry on all Windows 7 PCs now, but extended support for Windows 7 expires on January 14, 2020. What was surprising about this month's Security-only update, formally titled the "July 9, 2019-KB4507456 (Security-only update)," is that it bundled the Compatibility Appraiser, KB2952664, which is designed to identify issues that could prevent a Windows 7 PC from updating to Windows 10. But, it was restricted to the normal "cumulative" update rollups. As Woody Leonhard points out on Computerworld, this is pretty odd on Microsoft's part-the telemetry code was previously available and is probably installed on your system already if you use Windows 7.
