I'm still using my Windows 7 laptop from 13 years ago; not as a daily driver, but as a media and web browsing center. Occasionally I see the "Windows 7 Discontinued" message when Windows loads, but it is dismissable, and after that the computer works exactly as it did when I bought it, more or less. No OS-level updates, but plenty of updates from Firefox. Plus all the software on that computer is largely buy-once, use forever; that's a misnomer on MacOS, which breaks backwards compatibility frequently, but not on Windows.
