    Just don’t upgrade?

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

      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.
