The problem is that I know from past experience that fairly shortly after Microsoft “Ends” the life of an operating system then software developers stop writing software to work with it. The most problematic one I have found is that the tax software people will not allow their program to even install.

That is true, but many of the internet security programs still work and are still updated. Plus I'm fine with my antiquated software (Office 2010, Photoshop CS5 and Acrobat 10). I use Comodo for Windows 7, but I use Windows Defender in W10. It's getting too difficult to turn it off and install Comodo instead to bother with it. Plus Defender does an ok job for as much as I use W10.

As for tax software, yowzer, yeah I see your point. I use an online tax preparer, FreeTaxUSA, for my taxes but I don't own a business or file long complicated tax returns. So I can see the concern there for those who do.
