Windows 7.1 extend support ends on January 14, 2020. So is your org planning a very fast rollout or is it paying $$$ for Extended Security Updates?

There is nothing called Windows 7.1. Windows 7 extended support ends January 14, 2020. Windows 8.1 won't end its extended support until January 10, 2023.

It most likely is a reference to Windows 7 SP1. I've never seen it written as "7.1" but that is probably what they meant.

Yes sorry, that was a brain fart. I did indeed mean SP1. The Windows SDK version is 7.1 so I got muddled.

Windows 7 (without SP1) is already unsupported.

we even have WSL. I think someone in upper management pressured IT to either upgrade or start supporting Ubuntu laptops and that kind of got them going.
