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.

    All I do on my PC is play games and look at memes.

    1. Who wants to hack this machine?

    2. Who cares if they do?

    Oh no! I'll have to reformat. Man... That's minorly annoying.
