Can a class-action suit be filed to US Court to force Micro$oft to
extend its support for Windows 7?

I doubt it; I can't see how any company can be obliged to continue
supporting an obsolete product, unless they were foolish enough to ever
promise to do so. I would say it's like expecting Ford to continue to
support the Model T, but I have a feeling they do.

One might wonder what's obsolete about Windows 7, and who gets to make
the determination in the first place? It certainly doesn't seem obsolete
to me. In fact, it seems to be much more functional and stable than 10,
although that opinion isn't universal.


I don't even think it needs to be compared to Windows 10.
As Windows 10 is just full of circus tricks.

If you need basic functionality supporting modern APIs,
Windows 7 has most everything you might profit from.
