If you’re determined to stick with Win 7, it is imperative to
have a good backup plan in place. While you can spend time
copying files to an external hard drive, or use cloud storage, it is
better to have an automated solution in case the worst should
happen. Paragon Backup & Recovery CE (www.paragon-software.
com/free/br-free/) is free, automated, and supports Windows 7.
10 Strongly consider upgrading
Ultimately it is highly advisable to think about moving on
from Win 7. You may be able to upgrade your computer to
Windows 10, or you may have to buy a new machine. While you
continue to use Windows 7, Microsoft will display reminders on
your screen that the operating system is no longer supported
– although you have the option of dismissing them. QAnyonecandoit
