Office 2010 and the newer standalone Office suites will be “supported,” too-but only if the problem is specific to Office, and not to the interaction between Office and Windows 7. But you won’t receive any new Office 365 features, which are one of the reasons for buying Office 365. If you subscribe to Office 365 and run Windows 7, you’ll still receive security updates for Office 365 for the next 3 years, until January 2023. One exception? Oddly enough, it’s Office. There will be no technical support for Windows 7. But Microsoft won’t upgrade any of its browser software, and if a vulnerability is discovered for Windows 7, it won’t be patched. Third-party antivirus software, apps, utilities, games and other software will still work. Essentially, at least where Microsoft is concerned, your PC will simply cease to exist. We wouldn’t recommend the first option: ignoring the deadline altogether. Microsoft would like you to migrate to Windows 10, too-it has an entire page devoted to it. Note that these options also apply to Windows 8.1, whose support ends in 2023.
