Win 7 support ended in 2020 and no further security patches have been issued since then,


MS has been selling patches to businesses at punitive rates for the last three years (to end in a few months).

When they did similar for XP you could get them for consumer installs via a registry hack. (You changed something and your PC claimed to be WinXP Cash Register, a product still getting normal patches.) I'm not sure if anything similar is possible for W7. (W8/8.1 won't be getting paid extended support at all.)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
