I want to keep my Win 7 64-bit office-situated pc. I now can't afford to supplement it with a new, Ethernet-sharing Win 10 laptop. Twice in the past I've Upgraded existing O/S [95 to XP and XP to 7] and ended up with disk corruption/fail. Looking at all options, I'm now using FIREFOX [have to use it on 10 anyway as the pages keep freezing up ("not responding") on IE11] and will switch to PROTON Email [THUNDERBIRD wouldn't create an account].

And I must admit that they did not prevent my pc from being hacked. There are many freeware solutions out there without paying for MS's 3-year extension plan. Fact is, I and a lot of users don't like much of Win 10. Perhaps when its time for retirement comes something more palatable will emerge.
