If you’ve read the Windows 7 article: Windows 7 is coming to an end this article shares similarity although it’s not another Microsoft operating system that’s retiring soon.. it’s Office 2010.

January 14th, 2020 is the date that Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or support for the office suite.  We come across several machines still running 2010 and even.. 2007!   If you are running Office 2007 (or earlier)  remove the software immediately because it is no longer supported as of October 10th, 2017 and you’re machine is at risk of an attack, virus, or malware.
