Don't sweat it man, I still get pop ups informing that Windows XP will no longer be receiving updates after April 8 2014.
Isn't Windows ten free because Microsoft is going to charge for updates?

Windows 10 is free because MS is desperate. Also because win10 is easier to control and whatnot and more restrictive. I recall them trying to ban Steam on it so you'd be forced to buy games from MS store.

Win10 can suck it.

M$ missed the boat on mobile, and they've been trying to catch up since 8. Throw in the collusion with government data collection, and a generally ignorant and apathetic user base, and you get W10.

End of support for 7 is 2020. You have 4 years to learn how to dual-boot with Linux.

I don't know any of this computer talk stuff. I want a modern laptop with windows 7 on it. End of support just means what exactly? I could still use it but?

There's "end of support" and "end of life". EoS means that security patches and fixes will no longer be available. EoL means that no manufacturer will consider compatibility as a concern (drivers, hardware, etc).
