People keep treating Win10 EoL as if the software is going to catch on fire. Every time they phase out a Windows version people just happily keep it installed indefinitely until they just naturally buy a new PC, at least.

I predict the big replacement for supported Windows 10 will be unsupported Windows 10. I expect that's a pretty safe bet.

Yeah w7 is so easily hackable it's insane. It's like a flashing wide open door onto the entire network.
