Just in case this is helpful for anyone. My Windows 7 just updated x4 new updates, including security updates. Windows 7 updates expire after today.



Update:
My computer is just now updating again with another one!

1. Update to Windows 10, and you get security updates for years to come

The update is free, I updated to W-10, and made it look exactly like I was running Windows-7.
It is actually running a bit faster, and without a single problem so far in a week, running 8 hours a day.

2. I have a Windows 10 computer as well

My windows 7 computer would be way too slow with the large update of Windows 10. I will probably just work it off-line now.

5. I have 2 old laptops, both running fine with Windows-10

One is Acer notebook with 2GB RAM and the other has 4GB.
The 3rd laptop I bought last year came with W-10 installed,
and has only 2GB RAM and very small 30GB SSD hard disk. Updates without any problems.

6. Okay, but I am not sure I will chance it.

7. I held off the switch to Windows-10 with same concerns as you

Then I read a blog about how the upgrade from Windows-7 to 10 is free and easy.
The Acer notebook is basically a spare computer so I said why not try it.
Note that I have used W-7 for so many years, and I am old and did not like learning a new OS.
But the article also showed how to make W-10 look and feel just like W-7 with the start menu and all.
So I took the bait, and happy I did.

8. My Windows 7 is a frankenstein

My computer guy friend put it together for me. We have replaced a few things over the years.

9. My last update a few months ago crashed my laptop.

Couldn't reboot. Did the F8 key a hundred times before I got the ability to re-image it. No more updates for me.
