About the Windows 7 support expiration.

I shut off the Windows 7 Update 2 months ago cause I knew Microsoft would be pulling something annoying coming Jan 14th end of life syndrome. Now I don't have to deal with it, just continue on as before no Updates, No Problems . . .
I've had my Win7 Pro on manually selected updates since I got it. There were some updates that I did not want due since they involved data sharing with MS. And I think there was another related to win10 'offer.' So I accept the Defender updates and a few others that seem useful and legit when they come out.
