Why need upgrade at all? I've never needed "support" before
The "support" most importantly includes security updates. You better bet every hacking group has been working at finding fresh zero days for Windows 10 and is stockpiling them to start hammering any PCs that can't be upgraded this October
Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but didn't MS push important security updates to Win7 even after end of support?
They are doing that only for paying users for 10
