I hope you know more than the hackers...Win7 hasn't been patched for well over 2 yrs.

Why not go to Linux completely and ditch Windows? Worried about SystemD?

I'm not a big hacker target. Unfortunately I have to use Windows for various software, some of which can't run in a VM. Professional print standards for instance, need Mac or Windows. Audio and video production gear without Linux drivers is an issue. Win 7 is my final Microsoft OS, and it'll run exclusively in a VM on Linux in future. 4th Gen i7 is the last that will run it on bare metal, although I've read of various hacks which shoehorn Win 7 into the latest gen systems somehow. I'll airgap all MS OSs eventually...
