Isn't it insecure to run such an old version tho? (Since it stopped recieving updates years ago)

Stockholm syndrome windows users trying to justify their toxic relationship to microsoft (colorized circa 2020).

It's insecure (in more ways than one) to be running Windows in general. If you value security to a high degree you probably shouldn't be using Windows.

embedded editions can get you extended time on older windows versions

Well, security doesn't matter for a media device like that. The exposure is so minimal that it might as well not exist.

Hell, considering I really only use it to pirate shit maybe once a month nowadays, my main desktop PC isn't even on enough to matter; I could keep any old OS on it.

If it is connected to your router it’s a point of ingress.

The risk of getting a attack via the router is very low these days

Why not run a minimal distribution like Alpine if you're just torrenting?
