Windows 7 and 8 users are facing an important shift: the free upgrade path to newer Windows versions is no longer technically, nor legally available. This change has profound implications for businesses and organizations that are still operating on these older systems as it removed the cost-saving opportunity to upgrade to Windows 10 and 11 for free.
As of October 2023, Microsoft is removing Teams from their Enterprise suites for the EEA and Switzerland. The affected subscription plans, such as Office 365 E1/E3/E5 and Microsoft 365 E3/E5, will no longer include the popular collaboration service – it will be available for purchase only as a separate product.

On April 1st this year, Microsoft increased the prices of its cloud services, including Azure and Microsoft 365 subscriptions. The change aims to equalize their pricing globally, reflecting the exchange rate between customers’ local currencies and the US dollar. This is the second major price increase since March 1st 2022, when only new Microsoft 365 subscriptions were affected.
On 11 April 2023 Microsoft officially ended support for Exchange Server 2013 and SharePoint 2013. This means there will be no more security updates, bug fixes, or technical support from Microsoft. Although both software applications will remain fully functional, won’t be deactivated, and still can be used for daily work, further continuing to use these platforms can pose security risks and reduce productivity and compatibility with newer software.
When it comes to used software, we at Forscope are constantly striving to make the decision to purchase from us as easy as possible for our customers, and to reassure them that their business will be safe and secure with our products.
