Today is the day a lot of us who work in IT have been working hard to be ready for. Windows 7 goes end of life today. If you haven’t updated to windows 10 (or 8 ) you will stop receiving security updates from today.
What this means is that it will continue to work, but will quickly become insecure. Due to similarities between versions of Windows a security update released for win8/10 could hand a vulnerability for windows 7 on a plate for hackers.
If you insist on continuing to use it due to old hardware or applications then don’t do anything that could be exploited like important data or online banking.
