Windows 7: Edge support until July 15, 2021

Last Friday (April 10, 2020), Microsoft published information on this website about the end of support for Microsoft Edge for various operating systems. Tero Alhonen has addressed this in the following Tweet.

Microsoft plans to support the Microsoft Edge on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 by July 15, 2021. But this is not really a surprise, since Google has announced this date for support for its Chrome browser for quite some time (see Chrome support for Windows 7 until at least mid 2021). (via)

The page also lists the support duration for other operating systems. For Windows 10 versions that have also been supported, Microsoft recommends that you upgrade to a newer Windows 10 build. For macOS, there is only support for Sierra 10.12 and up. For Android, support is available for Android 4.4 and above, and for iOS from version 11 and above.
