I run all my Windows software in Parallels/Virtualbox instances, on macOS/Linux respectively. It is very hardened Windows 7, and it has very limited access to the internet, and Windows 7 still receive some updates, which I assume cover critical vulnerabilities. I hope to keep this setup for 2-3 more years.

I remember, I said huge No to Windows 10 when I realized I can't change Administrator password offline, as I created MS account during setup. Big mistake of mine.

Windows 7 is out of support and does not receive security updates.

I said it's hardened enough to be safe against common threats.

Also, business editions receive updated until 2023
