So the problem with windows stopping support for windows 7 is that there will be no new malicious software removal tools and updates of the security nature. This is an absolutely huge deal because there are new back doors discovered all the time to get the bad folk inside of your computer. The majority of updates we get is for just this. And that is stopping. Which means you now run the very real risk of having malware on your win7 machine that other antivirus software might not detect. And windows 7 sure won't. Who cares about drivers for new things coming out, right? If you are buying new parts for your PC odds are you are running windows 10 because you seem to not have so much of a problem investing in your machine. I upgraded to windows 10 with all of my machines early on because it was free.
