[QUOTE="KleinesSinchen, post: 10387891, member: 445180"] Theoretically(!) Windows 7 is not much behind Windows 10 with security updates. If I remember correctly the (paid) extra support reached the end now [S](beginning of 2024) -- might be wrong.[/S] Wrong: ESU (Extended Security Updates should still be in effect) No idea how to get these updates. It was easy to get XP extended updates by setting the registry entry for POS Ready, but I believe it requires some special product key to get latest Windows 7 updates. D*mn. [S]I even forgot the name of this [/S] --see above-- (but it is mentioned on legacyupdate as "will currently not include this, as it would be like cracking Windows"). Most exposed is the browser. If that has security holes this has the most impact. Days of automated worms like Sasser are (hopefully) over... Fun times. PCs directly on the internet, no router (which means no firewall, no NAT). Often enough even mentioning the wish to use an old OS gets the person who asked tared and feathered. I would not use an outdated Windows OS as main computer and mostly keep them offline (very rare to connect my XP or 7). But the older Windows versions allow things newer don't (or make complicated), so there is no way around them anyway. The question is if you accept certain risks and what protection is in place for the newer devices. [/QUOTE]
