Unlocks Windows 7, Microsoft releases patch for Windows 10

Microsoft is putting Windows 7 professional product key users at the risk of hackers attacking, launching only patches of priority for Windows 10.
According to Neowin, the findings from researcher Mateusz Jurczyk from Google's Project Zero, the team found a number of flawed vulnerabilities in Microsoft's operating system. Jurczyk said that Microsoft released the patch for Windows 10 product key instead of Windows 7, despite the fact that the two operating systems used the same code.
Prior to patching Windows 10, Microsoft made millions of Windows 7 users vulnerable to attack
This has raised concerns that Microsoft has paved the way for attackers to target older operating systems. Because, hackers can analyze the new code contained in the patch for Windows 10 and then apply the reverse technique to find the vulnerability that Microsoft office 2016 product key has overcome. They can then use this knowledge to attack older versions of the operating system that do not receive the patch.
According to the latest statistics, Windows 7 users still make up a large proportion of Windows PCs in the world, up to 43.99% market share. With the use of a code similar to Windows 10, millions of Windows 7 users are facing the risk of hackers attacking in the right direction.
For Microsoft's policy of giving priority to Windows 10 in fixing security vulnerabilities, Jurczyk said it was actually a mistake. Remarkably, Microsoft's actions could also put the user facing other vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2017-8680, CVE-2017-8684 and CVE-2017-8685, which affect only Windows. 7 and 8.1 but not on Windows 10. Fortunately, Microsoft patched these vulnerabilities after receiving warnings from Project Zero.
Jurczyk warns that finding such holes by reverse engineering will be a simple process that does not require much knowledge of Windows.
