This has literally happened repeatedly in the past. Just last year an exploit came to light affecting Windows XP that was so bad Microsoft had to release another security patch for it. WannaCry and NotPetya malwares used similarly severe exploits in 2017.

Again though - best practice for using an EOL OS in 2025 mean that an attack like wannacry wouldn’t affect you, since you wouldn’t have the SMB ports exposed to the internet. You’d also have AV software - Defender at a minimum, which is fantastic - and the Windows firewall on.
