How to Extend Your Windows 7 Security Updates Past January
Do people still use Windows 7?
Absolutely. And if they cling to it past January 14 of this coming year, they’ll have to pay a fee to Microsoft to continue to receive security updates. Most people won’t (and can’t) do this, as Microsoft’s paid security updates are geared only toward businesses, but a clever little hack allows normal people to take advantage of this service—for free.

@ecksmc This is why I'm going to Linux and FreeBsd. Should be all set by the end of this month, or end of February.
Also going all AMD Ryzen, because they're somewhat better at security, and run more stable than Skylake platforms.
@RandomUsr i'll prolly do the same got linux distros set up on thumb drives ready to go
mostly run a VM on my 32-bit so, setting up a linux distro on it i can then run win-7 in VM
old skool and hate win-10 with a passion
