What is the long term plan for Windows 7 Standard Embedded based systems?
Microsoft announced the end of support for Windows 7 Service Pack 2 in January of 2020, and this can be confusing to customers who have NewTek products that utilize Windows 7 Standard Embedded OS. Microsoft has announced an Extended Security Update program that will deliver critical and important updates to the Windows 7 Standard Embedded branch through to October 13, 2020. This extended support should give confidence to customers that currently own Windows 7 Standard Embedded based systems. (Extended Security Updates and purchases are not managed, nor supported through NewTek.)

My NewTek system runs on Windows 7, can I upgrade the Operating System to Windows 10?
The Windows 7 Embedded operating system does not support upgrading to any version of Windows 10. NewTek software developed for Windows 7 Embedded operating systems is specific to the environment originally shipped. Customers attempting to upgrade to retail versions of Windows 10 are discouraged as doing so can result in loss of features and functionality with an untested operating environment.
What are my options if I need a system with Windows 10?
Please contact your local NewTek Reseller for options.
