Just don’t connect them to the net after Microsoft ends support for them and you’ll be fine. Otherwise be advised that what’s being called a ‘Hacker Storm’ is expected after EOS as hackers unleash exploits that they know MS will not be patching.

I doubt there are many holes in XP that a)hackers have not already exploited and b)such exploites having already turned MS & PC security outfits onto them and c)for which security patches have already been made.

I expect newer PC op sys have more undiscovered security holes than old ones.
