    Supposedly in 2020. But I have a PC that I found on verge pickup. It had volume licence (i.e. a corporate workstation). It still got anti-virus definitions earlier this year, but seems to have stopped now.

    you can use one one of the retail packages if you want to run win7. eg; bitdefender

    Corporate customers can get support beyond the normal cutoff date.
