Drupal 7 End of Life: Support Ended January 5, 2025 — What Stopped, What Still Runs, and the Two Ways Forward

Drupal 7 reached end of life on January 5, 2025 — no more security or compatibility fixes for core or contributed modules. What actually ended, the supported Drupal 10/11 releases and their dates (10.6 and 11.3 to December 16, 2026; 11.4 to July 7, 2027), how to check your version, why 7 → 10/11 is a migration not an update, and the two realistic exits: migrate, or certified extended support while you migrate.
