Thanks @kooshad. I'm still a user of Windows 7 Professional on my desktop and laptop as I've resisted Windows 10 right from that time when Microsoft in a very devious way tried to force me to upgrade through its naughty update system.

I'll probably not have a choice to upgrade once I upgrade my hardware one day, but I don't look forward to the change. I'm hoping that by that time I'll be much more proficient with using Linux and be able to create a desktop environment with Linux. Thing is however there seems to be the same greediness for making lots of money like Microsoft did, for developing Linux kernels into desktop applications and charging for it.

i read that windows 10 uses more resources than windows 7, and maybe it's with the metro and some bloat that's been built into the os. so, that's why i recently did a fresh install of windows 7 on an older laptop. windows 7 and xp are my favorites, as far as performance :D

Unfortunately you will have to upgrade anyway, as support for Windows 7 is ending by January 14th, 2020 !
You would not be able to use it without the necessary security updates and support.

As it is my Windows 7 is not protected. I haven't loaded any updates in a million years. So I'm more than careful with how I use the internet. I let go of updates when I found that a good percentage of the updates were conflicting with the applications on my computer. The updates were bulk ones, one didn't have the foggiest idea what they were for or about, and I'm sure even Microsoft just took them from nowhere at times. Like it could be an update that was meant for Windows 10 defender that all of a sudden got fed in into an update for Windows 7, and so yeah. A mess! So that claim about support for Windows 7 ending I don't buy into easily. For me technically support for Windows 7 stopped at the point where Microsoft decided every one should be upgraded to Windows 10, which was at that time when they tried to force Windows 7 users to update through Microsoft updates, that weren't clearly marked as such.

I've become completely system phobic. Like a rebel. I don't like to follow the herd as I think most of them don't think what they do by following Microsoft slavishly. Who says you can't use Windows 7 past 2020? A year ago I had the honor at an Internet Cafe of accessing a computer - oldish - with Windows XP on it. And it was working just fine! Best part was how simple everything was, easy to access and use, and the speed was awesome. :cool:
