Yes, it says what I have been saying all along. Banks and financial institutions have special service contracts with Microsoft.
You, do not. Don’t run old ass windows versions that are not actively supported. This is not a controversial statement.
Your attempt to compare your usage vs the usage of a financial institution is not only a false equivocation, it’s particularly stupid in light of the fact specialized contracts exist.

Do run them, go ahead. Not supported does not mean non functional.

I worked for 15 years in the industry (7 years in the banking division) I am very explicitly comparing nothing as both myself and most banks I worked with are using legacy software in the same way. Its about risk management and understanding what can be done to your system, running an old OS is not on the top of my risk list.
Just backup your data, manage your accounts and passwords with the idea they may be compromised. This is how people not trying to sell you something operate.
Based upon your responses here, I don’t believe you. But at the end of the day, you can run whatever you like, but don’t encourage others to take stupid and unnecessary risks.
Also, you yourself should consider Linux, specifically Zorin OS. I am 90% windows user, but because I work for an MSP, I end up doing a lot on all of the “major” operating systems. I ran across Zorin and enjoyed it so much that I main it on my work laptop now.
I run Linux but I like my windows 7 machine for my living room.
Oh and you can not beleave me about what I did, I am used to it. Even when working at IBM (don’t recommend) I was often told I did not work there with all sorts of exsuses from in and outside the company.
You use chat GPT for this one? Because this does not say what you think it does.
