Windows 7 is a legacy release of Microsoft's flagship operating system. In comparison to earlier versions, Microsoft Windows 7 offers quicker initialization, shut down, and wakeup from sleep mode; easier networking and file and printer access; centralized peripherals management; plus sophisticated touch-screen capability. Microsoft Windows 7 also represents a major breakthrough in 64-bit client computers and gave businesses an attractive occasion to make the move into the next generation of network technology.
End of Support for Windows 7

64-bit Upgrade Support for Windows 7 and Microsoft Windows Servers

Unfortunately, for the majority of organizations the transition to 64-bit computing is problematic because of the need to make a new setup on every desktop. This entails re-installing programs, backing up and restoring data files, and installing 64-bit drivers. Although businesses usually already have 64-bit hardware, the work required to take full advantage of these resources often seems excessively time-consuming.
