If you are still using Windows 7 or Windows 8, we have some bad news. Microsoft is ending support for its old digital rights management (DRM) services. This means that it will no longer be possible to watch or listen to protected content on these old operating systems using applications such as Windows Media Player or Silverlight. In other words, the music albums or movies you bought with great excitement years ago will no longer be playable due to DRM protection. So, what should you do? Details in our news…

It’s time to say goodbye to Windows 7 and 8 users: Microsoft is ending support for legacy DRM

Microsoft is gradually discontinuing support for older versions. This decision can be a major disappointment, especially for users trying to play content from their old CDs or digital archives. Windows Media Player, which you used to listen to your music or watch your movies, will no longer be able to do its job properly due to DRM protection. The same applies to Silverlight. Windows 8 users will have difficulty playing copyrighted content with this application.

Microsoft has stated that it will no longer be updating these old DRM services and that they may become completely unusable over time. So how do you fix this? Of course, by upgrading to a newer operating system like Windows 10 or 11. That way, you’ll be able to enjoy the latest media playback services without any problems.

In short, it is time to say goodbye to old operating systems. Technologies and software that change over time require users to keep up with innovations at the same pace. In short, this decision by Microsoft is proof that the old friends Windows 7 and 8 have outlived their former glory.
