Microsoft is currently enabling consumers and organizations to run multiple versions of Windows through mainstream and extended support programs such as Windows 8.1, Windows Server, and Windows 10.
Another oft-forgotten SKU is Windows Thin PC, however, Microsoft has now issued a reminder that support for it is ending next month.

For those unaware, Windows Thin PC is based on Windows Embedded Standard 7 and is essentially a stripped down version of Windows 7 for low performance PCs. Its hardware requirements include a 1GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB storage, a DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 minimum, and a bootable DVD-ROM drive.
