Microsoft has not revealed the date by which these stores will be closed forever, although it has definitely said that the services available at retail stores will be given online to customers. The company has stated that its online sales are steadily increasing and our team is serving customers virtually better than in retail stores.

Microsoft said, ‘We have built a team that has multitalented people who can work from any corner of the world. Our team is ready to help all types of customers under any circumstances. Our team consists of people who know more than 120 languages. Our team is stronger now than ever. ‘

Thousands of people were trained for this and people were helped through calls.
