Just don't upgrade?

I just retired a Windows 7 box this past summer, because it just worked until then.

That sounds great for an airgapped device! Most aren't though

But isn't it unsecure if you connect it to networks or worse, the internet? I would use Windows 7 ONLY in a virtual machine, or alternatively on real machine that is not connected to the internet.

All I do on my PC is play games and look at memes.

  1. Who wants to hack this machine?

  2. Who cares if they do?

Oh no! I'll have to reformat. Man... That's minorly annoying.
