Ok, but if you need to use Windows then people telling you "Just install Linux" isn't a solution.
Staying on an old and unsecure OS sure is a solution, but it's incredibly fucking stupid.
At least you could install Linux and use an old Windows version inside a VM instead of running a vulnerable system on bare metal. That way you can still use Windows when you need to.
Windows isn't any less vulnerable now than 1 week after end of support.
People with exploits available that are unpatched are waiting for that end of support. It increases the value of their unreleased exploit.
QEMU is para-virtualization at near native speeds and supports GPU pass through for ya vidyagames.
Needing Windows isn't just about video games
Sucks to be you then.
