At this time, you can run an Office update to make sure you have the latest version. Once you move to a supported Windows operating system all Microsoft 365 feature and security updates will resume as usual. But, during that time, as long as the device is still running Windows 7, Microsoft 365 won’t receive any new features updates. We’re doing this to give you additional time to make the transition from running Microsoft 365 on devices running Windows 7 to a supported operating system, such as Windows 10. Even though Windows 7 is no longer supported, we’ve decided to continue to provide you with security updates for Microsoft 365 for the next 3 years, until January 2023. Support for Windows 7 ended on January 14, 2020.
Therefore, if you're using Microsoft 365 on a computer running Windows 7 we strongly recommend you move to Windows 10. As a valuable Microsoft 365 subscriber, we want to continue to provide a stable Microsoft 365 experience.
Using Microsoft 365 on older, unsupported operating systems may cause performance and reliability issues over time. Microsoft 365 is governed by the Modern Lifecycle Policy which requires customers to stay current as per the servicing and system requirements for the product or service including using Microsoft 365 on a Windows operating system that is currently in support.
