What happens if still use win 10?
All you guys said is true. You could get hacked blah blah blah. But to a gamer, a machine exclusively for gaming doesn't take any of that as a concern. Want to hack my machine? Go ahead! As long as you don't delete my games, be my guest. I don't save credit card information on it anyway.
But none of that happens in my case. I don't game on or run Windows. I'm just here to provide a point of view.
You'll be more vulnerable to malware because it won't be patched against newly discovered exploits.
You can't. Every single hack/exploit that goes unpatched will be a gaping door for hackers
You are compromising yourself, though I think you'll still get security patches for a bit longer
October is when security patches for windows 10 will stop. Its when it goes full out of support. LTSB will continue getting security patches for a couple years though.
