Wait, just now?
Then why did I read online that it was insecure as hell to stay in Windows 8.1? (I was setting up an old lap for a mom's friend, with 4 painful GBs of RAM).
Also, doesn't Windows 10 support supposedly end next year?
I think I am not getting the kind of support that Windows provides.
Microsoft offers a long-term support version of Windows called LTSC that's stripped down, only receives security updates, and is supported for 10 years from its release.
It's only officially available to business clients, but with a little yar har fiddeldy dee, you too can experience extended support!

I figured, but I didn't read anything about that when I was on the massgrave site the other day, so that is why I just thought all older Windows versions are gone for good.
It will come in handy for my Windows 10 Pro version that I have installed in my Mac though.
The extended support updates aren't available to end consumers but is a paid product for enterprises that need more time to update.
Ah, definitely clearer to me now, thanks, and it sucks.
Funnily, Windows 7 ended up with longer support than Windows 8.
