This is terrifying. Windows 7 was EoL in early 2020. If you're in a time where you've heard about COVID-19 you shouldn't be using 7.

Why not ? Win 10 is a terrible OS.

Because you haven't received security updates in three years and are one bad HTTP GET from becoming a botnet node or ransomware victim. I loathe W10 but I loathe being hacked more.
