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.
Your local network is compromised, not just 1 windows device. It could potentially leak enough personal information for more targeted attacks.
The chances are slim but AI may enable targeted hacking at scale. I simply wouldn’t risk downloading shit on a device with known security vulnerabilities, without any scope of fixes.
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.
What happens if still use win 10?
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
