The Windows 7 support has been ended since February 2020. Hence, it is necessary to migrate it to Windows 10. However, many users are missing some Windows 7’s features in Windows 10. For example, the Windows startup sound was present until Windows 7. This was a very characteristic feature of Microsoft systems. It doesn’t mean that this feature is not present in the Windows 10, it is just disabled by default when you install a fresh Windows 10 or upgraded it from any previous version. You just need to re-enable it.
