Not secure HTTPS in Google Chrome browser on Windows 7
Sometime you might have seen on your Windows 7 PC while browsing secure website over SSL/TLS layer. Like when you open any bank website in any browser it will start from HTTPS protocol. Which ensure that the transaction between your computer and server will be in encrypted form. Encrypted means hackers cannot see the Users ID and Password in clear text. It will be in unreadable form. And it is much necessary to make the secure transaction between your computer and the server over HTTPS. Because you also don’t want your credentials get hacked by someone else.
And now you can think, what happen if HTTPS will not work on your Windows 7 which is an outdated operating system and now a days it is not secured anymore. Even Microsoft already recommended to the worldwide user to switch over to newest Windows like Windows 10 and Windows 11. Because Windows 7 support ended on January 14, 2020. And time to time our security protocols over websites are improving. But the development of Windows 7 stopped after January 14, 2020. And massive amount of users worldwide still using the Windows 7 and not upgrading their system, may be due to lower computer hardware configuration, older Laptops and their drivers compatibility, application compatibility and their budget etc.
Should we open this website on Windows 7?
Answer is clearly NO until or unless HTTPS protocol is not secured on your Windows 7 in Google Chrome or any other browser. But there is an option on some HTTPS website when you click on Advanced and you will see the Proceed to the website (unsafe) link.
