In case you didn't know, your Windows license allows you to contact Microsoft directly for support if you are having issues. (Just be sure its an actual Windows issue and not a software/hardware issue)

This will effectively end that support for your device.

You still have to pay for it

Additional payments depend on which license you are using.
