Hi prof,
Sorry if this is out of the topic.
My windows 7 will be no longer supported up until next year. My laptop is still good but not that new. What will be my concern if I will keep using it while not upgrading?
Or can you make a blog explaining it further in an easy terms? I m not that techie so that why. Hope it is okay.
Thanks.

Sorry for the very late reply
For a private individual or private user like you your only concern if you keep using it is to keep any anti-virus that you are using to be up-to-date. As long as your antivirus or anti-malware is up-to-date you have nothing to worry about.
Security concerns will be mainly applicable to medium and large offices because they are the ones that are frequently attack by hackers and virus creators alike, but for a private individual or private user like you there is nothing to worry about.
Additional concerns that you have to pay attention will be clicking on links or opening files that sent by a user that you do not know (especially inside email).
But, be very careful even if you are going to click links or open files that sent by an individual that you also know, there’s nothing to lose to call the sender before clicking or opening files sent by them because the frequent origin of attacks by malware and ransomware creators is through email links and attachments.
