Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

What happens if still use win 10?
All you guys said is true. You could get hacked blah blah blah. But to a gamer, a machine exclusively for gaming doesn’t take any of that as a concern. Want to hack my machine? Go ahead! As long as you don’t delete my games, be my guest. I don’t save credit card information on it anyway.
But none of that happens in my case. I don’t game on or run Windows. I’m just here to provide a point of view.
Your local network is compromised, not just 1 windows device. It could potentially leak enough personal information for more targeted attacks.
The chances are slim but AI may enable targeted hacking at scale. I simply wouldn’t risk downloading shit on a device with known security vulnerabilities, without any scope of fixes.
You can’t. Every single hack/exploit that goes unpatched will be a gaping door for hackers
You are compromising yourself, though I think you’ll still get security patches for a bit longer

You’ll be more vulnerable to malware because it won’t be patched against newly discovered exploits.
