Staying on an old and unsecure OS sure is a solution, but it's incredibly fucking stupid.

At least you could install Linux and use an old Windows version inside a VM instead of running a vulnerable system on bare metal. That way you can still use Windows when you need to.

Windows isn't any less vulnerable now than 1 week after end of support.

People with exploits available that are unpatched are waiting for that end of support. It increases the value of their unreleased exploit.
