Wait, just now?

Then why did I read online that it was insecure as hell to stay in Windows 8.1? (I was setting up an old lap for a mom's friend, with 4 painful GBs of RAM).

Also, doesn't Windows 10 support supposedly end next year?

I think I am not getting the kind of support that Windows provides.

The extended support updates aren't available to end consumers but is a paid product for enterprises that need more time to update.

Ah, definitely clearer to me now, thanks, and it sucks.
