Today, January 10, 2023, Microsoft will release the latest security update for Windows 7, and this event will mark the final end of the life cycle of the operating system. Extended support for Windows 7 ended in 2020, but for corporate customers, Microsoft continued to release cumulative updates on a paid basis.

In appearance, the smartphone may resemble Vivo X Fold and Honor Magic Vs.
