ANSWER
As of January 14, 2020, Windows 7 will be considered an unsupported platform. Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, hotfixes, technical support and troubleshooting for this operating system. Computers running on Windows 7 will become vulnerable and customers may be exposed to threats affecting the ability to remain compliant, especially in highly regulated environments. Without continued operating system maintenance, this may result in potential software incompatibility issues as well as declining performance and reliability of systems and software reliant on the operating system.
